OUR WORK IS AVAILABLE FOR YOUTH WHO ARE FACING A CIVIL OR CRIMINAL CHARGE, OR A SHCOOL DISCIPLINARY OR OTHER COMMUNITY INFRACTION. IN OUR WORK THIS YOUNG PERSON IS CALLED A RESPONDENT. WE PRIMARILY SERVE YOUTH FROM THE FOLLOWING COUNTIES: CUMBERLAND, ANDROSCOGGIN, AND SAGADAHOC. AT THE HEART OF OUR PROGRAM IS A BELIEF IN YOUTH LEADERSHIP. WE TRAIN YOUTH TO SERVE AS ADVOCATES AND FACILITATORS OF RESTORATIVE PROCESSES, AND TURN TO RESPONDENTS, YOUTH VOLUNTEERS, AND YOUTH BOARD MEMBERS TO INFORM AND GUIDE OUR EVOLVING PROGRAMMING.
