Build a stronger, safer community.
We strive to build a stronger, safer community for the children and families we serve. Through our community justice programs, our youth learn the value of social responsibility. We use a variety of methods including the restorative justice model to engage youth and community in critical conversations regarding our day-to-day interactions.
Program Overview
Crime Prevention and Intervention (CPI) is designed to deter at-risk youth from engaging in criminal behavior.
