Merrimack County Juvenile Diversion Program
What is Diversion?
Court diversion is an early intervention program that works with first-time juvenile offenders. If accepted into the program, you will only be able to take advantage of it once; Diversion is a one-shot deal.
Diversion recognizes that you made a mistake. The program allows you the opportunity to take responsibility and learn from your mistakes without going to court and potentially having a juvenile record. It is up to you what you make of this opportunity.
The intent of this program is to help youths and their families learn to make better choices, so that they may reach their greatest potential as valuable members of the society.
WARNING
Diversion is not an easy way out! You and your parents/guardians must be motivated to follow through and complete your diversion plan. You will be referred back to court if you do not successfully complete the program.
