Despite the idyllic setting - nestled among the mountains and valleys of the Upper Valley area of Vermont and New Hampshire - our towns and villages are affected by the harm associated with illegal behavior. At Valley Court Diversion Programs we provide alternatives to the traditional criminal justice system. Through our community-based restorative justice programs, our staff and dozens of volunteers work to repair the harm caused by crime. Our programs hold both youth and adult offenders accountable for their behavior and work to restore a sense of safety to the community through monetary restitution, community service, repair of damaged property, letters of apology, research papers, special projects, and other restorative activities.
