Additional information may be found on the John R. Justice Program Information Page.

Purpose of the Funds: Per Colorado Statute, the goals of diversion are to prevent further involvement of a juvenile in the formal legal system (19-2-303 C.R.S.); provide eligible juveniles with cost-effective alternatives to adjudication that require the least amount of supervision and restrictive conditions necessary; reduce recidivism and improve positive outcomes for juveniles; and ensure appropriate services are available for all juveniles. 

Juvenile diversion programs should, when possible, integrate restorative justice practices and utilize evidence-based practices to provide community-based alternatives to the formal court system for youth between the ages of 10-17, as an alternative to a petition filed or an adjudicatory hearing. Diversion programs should never deny diversion to a juvenile based on the juvenile's ability to pay, previous or current involvement with the Departments of Human or Social Services; age, race or ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or legal representation.

Eligibility: The Colorado Children's Code establishes units of local government and non-governmental agencies as eligible agencies to receive these state funds.  Funds are allocated to each judicial district pursuant to CRS 19-2-303, based on a formula that consists of a percentage for juvenile-age population, poverty rate, and juvenile population per square mile.
