USA State Networks and Coalitions
The list below of state networks, coalitions, and groups on Youth/Teen/Student/Peer Court and Peer Jury diversion programs are formal and informal. In some states, there are several state networks, to even include statewide and/or regional networks. The number of formal and informal state networks and coalitions has increase from approximately five (5) in 1997, to more than twenty (20) in 2018, with more expected to be established in the coming years.
No state network or coalition listed below has any authority to mandate local communities within a state how they must operate one of these local diversion programs. Global Youth Justice supports multiple state associations and networks, to include formal and informal, especially in states where the network or association is not active in supporting local Youth/Teen/Student/Peer Court and Peer Jury diversion programs. If you are interested in establishing or enhancing a regional or state network or association on these rapidly expanding local diversion programs, please contact GlobalYouthJustice@GlobalYouthJustice.org.
