The Juvenile Diversion Program offers first-time juvenile offenders a way to make right whatever wrong they've done while by-passing court proceedings and a criminal record. The offending youths must admit their guilt to be accepted into the program and are given a contract of specific consequences to complete within a specified time frame. Contracts of Consequences may included: performing community service, paying restitution, writing letters of apologies, writing research papers, completing drug and alcohol education courses, performing in home drug testing under parental supervision and complete counseling session. The Juvenile Diversion Program operates under the jurisdiction of the New Hampshire Circuit Court, 9th circuit-Family Division-Goffstown and serves the towns of Goffstown, New Boston, Weare and Francestown. Referrals to the program are made by the courts and jurisdictional police departments.
