Youth Services of Southern Wisconsin, Inc.
Guiding Youth Toward a Better Future
The Youth Restitution Program (YRP) provides support and mentoring for youthful offenders as they work to pay restitution and/or complete court-ordered community service hours. During this restorative justice process, YRP works to instill in their young clients a sense of self-worth and helps build upon each participant’s strengths, so they may draw upon this experience at future critical junctures.
The Intensive Supervision Program (ISP) provides court-involved youth with the opportunity to remain in their homes and receive support in completing their court-ordered obligations. ISP diverts youth from expensive out-of-home placements, such as a group home, residential treatment center, or a juvenile corrections facility. The program also offers a genuine opportunity to connect with youth and to understand the challenges they face in their home environment on a daily basis.
Restorative Justice Program (RJ) offers an alternative to the traditional juvenile justice system by providing eligible youth an opportunity to receive an individually tailored restorative justice agreement in lieu of a monetary fine issued through the municipal court.
