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
Project EMBRACE (NewDay) is a three-to-six month diversion program for first-time juvenile offenders which provide alternatives to traditional criminal justice processes. Program activities include weekly life skills management classes that focus on self-esteem building, values, teenage pregnancy prevention, HIV education, and asset building. This program is centered on the restorative justice model where offenders and victims meet face-to-face to discuss the events that transpired. It provides victims, offenders, parents, facilitators, and community members with understanding and closure.
