1. Truancy Prevention: working with schools, families and courts to help keep students in school and to improve both their attendance and their school performance.
2. Victim Offender Mediation: involves working individually with the offender and the victim to have them agree to meet and be facilitated by a trained facilitator and be guided through a process of justice in a balanced manor.
3. Victim Witness Panels: allows victims to tell their stories and encourage offenders to understand what they have done without matching victims and offenders from a specific case.
4. Teen Court: an alternative to appearing in Juvenile Court, just paying a fine and/or having a criminal record. An opportunity to receive a meaningful consequence from a jury of their peers, to take responsibility for their actions and provides positive peer pressure with community based consequences.
