BUILDING SAFER COMMUNITIES THROUGH RESTORATIVE JUSTICE
We work with youth, families, and justice partners to provide police and court referrals, restorative justice circles, and case conferences that repair harm and restore balance.
Our COMMITMENT
At the Red Deer Youth Diversion Society, we are committed to empowering youth and providing them with the necessary support to navigate the justice system. Through our programs and initiatives, we strive to create positive pathways for the youth, promoting rehabilitation and reintegration.
