St. Paul Youth Services: Turning High Risk into High Hopes Court Diversion

Sometimes young people make poor choices and get involved with shoplifting, underage drinking, vandalism or other activities that bring them to the attention of law enforcement. If not addressed, these choices can lead to further criminal activity. As an alternative to Juvenile Court, our Diversion Program provides counseling, education and community service to hold youth accountable and get back on track. We help them understand how their choices affect themselves, their families and their community. We also provide them with tools to make better decisions in the future.

Court Diversion Program Outcomes:

  • Every year, our Court Diversion Program works with over 400 first-time juvenile offenders. Six months later, over 90% have not been arrested a second time.
