OUR MEMBERS

The NH Juvenile Court Diversion Network was formed in the 1980′s by a group of professionals seeking to create more effective ways to assist low-risk juvenile offenders who didn’t belong in court. Governed by a dedicated group of volunteers, Network members share ideas and knowledge, help programs meet accreditation standards, and work with communities to develop new diversion resources.
