East Cleveland Community Youth Diversion Program | East Cleveland Neighborhood Center

Provides a program to divert youth who have committed a first offense from further patterns of activity that would lead towards increased involvement with the justice system. A social worker/case manager works with the family to determine a case plan with appropriate options. Participating youth must complete the requirements of the case plan and not re-offend within a specified time to avoid having the case sent to Juvenile Court for disposition.
