Nelson and Katoia Wilkins, the Director of Contract Management for the Kids Hope Alliance, joined us to discuss the transfer of Juvenile Diversion Programming to the Kids Hope Alliance in more detail.

A partnership between the Kids Hope Alliance and the State Attorney's Office for the Fourth Judicial Court has resulted in the transfer of Juvenile Diversion Programming to the Kids Hope Alliance, which is a child welfare agency. 

The transfer was made at the suggestion of the Juvenile Justice Advisory Committee, which was established by State Attorney Melissa Nelson in 2017, and includes 23 different community members who examined different diversion programs and juvenile justice systems. The funding of juvenile justice programming is one of The Kids Hope Alliance's five essential services categories.
