Victim Offender Conferencing (VOC) …is a process that provides interested victims of crime the opportunity to meet the offenders in a safe and structured setting, with the goal of holding the offenders directly accountable for their behavior, while providing important assistance and compensation to the victim. With the assistance of a trained facilitator, the victim is able to let the offender know how the crime affected him or her, receive answers to questions they may have, and be directly involved in developing a restitution plan for the offender to be accountable for the losses incurred. The offenders are able to take direct responsibility for their behavior, learn the full impact of what they did, and if appropriate, develop an agreement for making amends to the person(s) they violated.

Family Conferencing (FC) ...provides the opportunity for families to meet in a setting mediated by a trained facilitator. Family Conferencing is similar to Victim-Offender Conferencing in that it discusses the harm caused by the offender’s actions. Typical referrals for Family Conferencing are "so called" victimless crimes (i.e. underage drinking, drug use, underage driving, speeding, etc.); however, these crimes have the capability of causing great harm and families desire a structured way to come up with an agreement for future behaviors.

Youth Educational Shoplifting Prevention Program (YES) ...helps teens identify the feelings, thoughts, and actions that led them to shoplift and helps them make better choices for themselves in the future. The program was designed by the National Association of Shoplifting Prevention to reduce shoplifter recidivism and to help prevent further penetration into the criminal justice system. Whether it is a teen’s first offense or repeat offense, and, whether they stole a $50.00 sweater or a 50-cent candy bar, youth will benefit from the comprehensive education provided by the YES Program. (Cost for curriculum - $40.00)

Youth Restitution Project …provides for teens without the resources to pay back their victims, the ability to work for compensation. Teens referred to this program participate in a Victim-Offender or Family Conference prior to entrance and their family is asked to provide information concerning income levels or other hardship. Once a teen has completed a designated amount of hours in service to the community, a donation equivalent to the victim’s loss in the crime will be given to the victim from a Victim Assistance Trust Fund. Citizens are able to donate toward this trust fund

Prime for Life Program …is an educational risk reduction AODA program. Four area guidance counselors teach this curriculum to youth that have been cited for underage drinking violations. Parents may also refer their teens to this program. A family conference is held prior to attendance of the classes and once the classes have been completed, a follow-up conference is held to determine if further assessment or counseling is needed. The classes are held on four evenings over a two-week period and last two and one half hours a session. The cost of the course, including curriculum, is $157.50.

Classroom Circles …are provided to schools interested in implementing restorative practices in a classroom setting. The goals of such circles are to increase communication between students, their teachers, and school support staff, as well as reduce discipline issues within the classroom. Restorative Justice Staff will assist with teacher training and facilitate the first several student circles.
