Program Outline Description
This program allows first time juvenile offenders to avoid a lasting charge to their record through a variety of avenues. These include but are not limited to: restorative justice, community service, working with partner organizations, and participating in relevant skills groups. Youth will be required to complete a total of 20 service hours, which consist of community service, skills groups, and volunteer opportunities. Throughout the duration of the program, Diversion Coordinators will communicate with the participants, their parents/guardians, and Saint Louis County regarding each individuals progress. Successful completion of this Diversion Program will be dependent upon fulfillment of service hours required, as well as a consensus from all parties that individuals properly completed each segment of their service.
