Through community partnerships and structured programming, Chosen Path supports youth who may be involved with or at risk of involvement in the juvenile justice system. Diversion and reintegration services are designed to promote accountability, positive decision-making, education, family engagement, skill development, and successful community participation while reducing barriers to long-term success.​

Diversion Program Philosophy

Chosen Path Community Care Agency believes that young people who become involved with the juvenile justice system should be given meaningful opportunities to change direction, take responsibility, and build a positive future. Our diversion philosophy is grounded in the belief that accountability and rehabilitation can exist together.

The Chosen Path Diversion Program seeks to address the underlying circumstances that may contribute to delinquent behavior while helping youth develop the skills, support systems, and positive relationships necessary to make healthier decisions. Rather than defining a young person by a mistake or justice-system involvement, we focus on the individual’s capacity for growth, responsibility, and change.

Our Reentry Philosophy

Chosen Path believes that successful reentry requires more than providing a bed. Individuals returning to the community need housing, opportunity, accountability, support, and a realistic pathway forward.

Our Reentry Housing & Reintegration Program combines housing stability with life skills, employment preparation, education, case management, community connections, and individualized transition planning to help participants build a sustainable life beyond the justice system.

Our goal is not simply to help individuals return home. Our goal is to help them build a home, a career, healthy relationships, and a future.
