At the Juvenile Justice Center, we serve youth and families involved in the delinquency and dependency court process. The department offers a range of services from programs and guidance to resources specially designed to rehabilitate juveniles and support families such as, counseling, youth employment opportunities, community restitution and life enrichment programs, education programs, substance abuse programs, victim/offender mediation and restitution, parenting classes and community committees. Additionally, the Juvenile Justice Center provides a secure detention facility that is committed to the safety and skills development of all juveniles in custody.
