Values:Brief Description of Our Programs and Services
RESTORE
The RESTORE Program provides a voluntary opportunity for youth who have shoplifted to deal with their charge in a way that is meaningful to themselves and the community.
Victim Offender Mediation
VOM is a powerful process that allows a safe environment for victims to face the offender that caused them harm. Victim's get to see that the offender takes responsibility for their crime, to ask the questions that only offenders can answer and to negotiate a contract to repair the harm of a dispute or crime.
