The Youth Justice Oversight Committee, through the Diversion Work Group, has created a Juvenile Diversion Program Directory. This directory should serve as a resource for counties to explore existing diversion programs around the state, allowing counties to learn from each other to identify diversion options that fit their local needs.
Explore diversion programs by searching below. For more information about each program look in the YJOC Diversion Directory. Information in the directory is self-reported by each county. Please direct any inquiries into specific programming to the county contact.
If your county has a juvenile diversion program that you would like to include in the directory, please submit the program information using the Juvenile Diversion Program Submission Form.
