The Council of State Governments (CSG) Justice Center, in collaboration with the Center for Policing Equity, is hosting a virtual learning community focused on enhancing school-based diversion through public health- and youth-centered approaches. Applicants will be working to implement school-based diversion responses that are rooted in public health, positive school climate, peer supports, credible messengers, or other school and community-led, positive youth development and diversion approaches. The learning community will be led by CSG Justice Center policy staff and include opportunities for mutual learning and presentations from attendees and leaders in the field. Upon completion of the learning community, teams will be equipped with an action plan, including an implementation and funding plan. To build the plan, teams will work through a planning and implementation guide that covers key topics such as goal setting, applying data, resource mapping, policy review, program development, sustainability, and more.
