Capstone Description:

The Maine Team seeks to divert more youth to community-based supports and ensure probation is strengths-based, time-limited, and focused on positive youth development. To do so, the team will partner with stakeholders including law enforcement, DOC, defense, prosecution, the judiciary, DHHS, youth, families, and community entities and individuals.
