Turning Data Into Direction
At the Youth Diversion Agency of Northeast Florida, we believe effective policy begins with reliable information. Our legislative briefs are designed to translate data, research, and on-the-ground experience into actionable insights for lawmakers, justice agencies, and community leaders.
Bridging Policy and Practice
Our legislative briefs serve as a bridge between research and reform. They help stakeholders:
- Understand emerging trends in truancy, youth violence, and rehabilitation.
- Evaluate the impact of prevention and diversion programs.
- Align community and judicial priorities with evidence-based strategies.
- Support legislation that promotes restoration over retribution.
Supporting Smarter, More Sustainable Reform
Our research-backed recommendations have helped guide conversations around youth diversion, recidivism prevention, and equitable resource allocation across Northeast Florida. By aligning policy with community-driven results, we contribute to a system that prioritizes prevention, rehabilitation, and opportunity.
Collaborate for Change
We invite policymakers, educators, and civic organizations to collaborate with us in shaping effective, compassionate youth policies. Together, we can build a justice system that restores, reforms, and empowers Florida’s next generation.
