It all began with a response to the disproportionate minority contacts and the school to prison pipeline. Since its creation in 2007, the goal of the Straight Talk About Community and Consequences (STACC) Diversion Program has been to provide quality intervention assistance to all youths enrolled. Our approach is rooted in identifying and addressing risk factors associated with the youth’s behavior, ensuring that everything we do reflects our commitment to positive change and offering an alternative to criminal prosecution for clients aged 12-22.
