Referrals for this program can come from schools, law enforcement, juvenile justice or the community. |
Impact Circles is a community-based diversion program providing a restorative and flexible responses for youth who may need additional community support, have been involved with school discipline, and/or have been charged with an offense. Our facilitators utilize a restorative approach that is developed based on the needs of each individual situation. In some situations, the youth and their parent/guardian, the victim (when applicable and willing), and members of the community come together to address the impact of the incident. Trained participants make decisions together as to how the youth should take accountability for their actions through a Repair Agreement that must be completed. |

CommunityWorks provides youth with the opportunity to complete meaningful community service while engaging in guided reflection and accountability activities. Community service is not just a task to complete, but a valuable opportunity for young people to build life skills, develop a work ethic, and gain a deeper understanding of their role in community.
If a youth owes financial restitution to someone they have harmed, the hours the youth serves in CommunityWorks can be converted into payments for the victim. |
