Marion Superior Court Probation Department

The initial goal of the Youth Empowerment Program is to create a personal, supportive one to one relationship with positive adult role models for each program participant. The ultimate goal, however, is to divert young adults involved with the criminal justice system from unsuccessful attitudes and behavior to a more productive, permanent, lawful and responsible lifestyle.
