It has been a month of big wins here at Youth Services!
After months of hard work, we finally received our renewed accreditation certificate! The whole YS staff, including former interns Faith and Kiera spent countless hours compiling, redacting, and writing documents to meet this year's new accreditation standards. Shoutout to everyone for their hard work and a huge thank you to our partners across the county for the letters of support that they contributed to our submission!
In other news, after years of hard work by Manager, Alyssa, ✨Intervention Specialist✨, CJ's contract has been expanded to accommodate more hours. This capacity increase will enable YS to provide more, and improved programming across the county as we work to support the county's youth as best we can. Thank you so much, Alyssa, your years of work have not gone unnoticed!

Last week was an exciting week here in Youth Services! YS Manager, Alyssa, spent the week in New Orleans at the National Association for Community and Restorative Justice's conference in her role as the Vice Chair of the New Hampshire Juvenile Court Diversion Network's Board of Directors. She learned about many of the amazing restorative approaches being implemented across the country and returned with many incredible ideas to bring back to our programs as well as those across the state.
