Diversion / About Pathways Programming

Our youth diversion program

Our youth diversion “Pathways” program is designed specifically for court-involved young adults between the ages of 16 – 24. Programming includes a myriad of on-site supports that offer paid on-site internships, wrap-around services, mental health counseling, educational services, field trips, financial and digital literacy classes, job training and employment opportunities. We provide a powerful and effective combination of services to prevent further court involvement and success. For more information please contact us.
