The Voluntary Diversion Program serves as a prevention program that helps address the needs of young people who are engaging in delinquent behavior and are at risk of entering the juvenile justice system without some sort of intervention. The process works the same as the Municipal Juvenile Diversion Program in that an assessment is completed and a Diversion plan is created that includes services that will address root-issue causes of delinquent behavior. All services that are available to youth on court-related Diversion are also available to youth on Voluntary Diversion which include but is not limited to; anger management/conflict resolution, drug and alcohol classes, gang intervention and family workshops. Referrals to the program come from a variety of sources including parents, school officials and police officers to name a few.
