DIVERSION & BEHAVIORAL SUPPORT

SHORTSTOP

Our programs meet young people during pivotal moments and offer clear, supported pathways forward.

Backed by 50 years of cultural adaptations, our early intervention program, Shortstop, delivers evidence-based services—including juvenile diversion, restorative justice, and substance use prevention that support at-promise youth through legal education, accountability exercises, and parent-youth reflection. Youth build decision-making skills, develop healthy coping strategies, and redirect behavior in a safe, trauma-informed environment.
