Please help us end youth incarceration by diverting our young people away from the criminal justice system and into a path of resilience. Restorative Justice Diversion works as an alternative to incarceration by immediately providing services to the youth and a voice to the person harmed.

Criminal Justice Statistics:

The Restorative Solution:

Restorative Justice Statistics (San Diego, CA):

Again, only 8 % of youth offenders recidivate after 1 year from restorative program completion. This is compared to over 50% recidivism through the traditional criminal justice system.

*Recidivate – chances of committing another crime

And it costs YOU!, the taxpayer, over $400,000 to incarcerate ONE youth offender but only $9,000 or less to divert them away from the criminal justice system and into a path of resiliency.

Our Restorative Justice Diversion program exists before the youth is officially charged with the crime. Once a youth completes the program, the youth’s records are immediately sealed. This means that when asked in job applications about ever being arrested before, the youth can honestly answer NO.

So, please help us strengthen our organization in order to launch programs beginning in San Diego, California, this coming January! Anything helps. You'll be directly impacting youth in your community!
