Volunteer Opportunity Details:

Court diversion is a community-based alternative to traditional court proceedings. It is available to juvenile and adults offenders who are referred to the program by the State's Attorney's office in Windsor County. Initially, offenders meet with a case worker who conducts an intake and assessment to identify any mental-health, substance-abuse, or learning-related problems. Then the client is scheduled to appear before a hearing board of community volunteers who listen to the person's story and then create a restorative contract with conditions that must be met in order to successfully complete the program and avoid criminal prosecution.

Volunteers must fill out an application, sign a privacy agreement, and agree to abide by the terms of our volunteer guidelines. In addition, volunteers must attend a training session to learn more about our agency's philosophy and practices.
