About VACDP

The Vermont Association of Court Diversion and Pretrial Services (VACDP) includes the 12 county-based programs that provide these services throughout Vermont. Some members are non-profit organizations; others are housed within a city government.

The work of VACDP members is guided by the value of respect for all. VACDP members work with individuals and communities to affirm and build on their strengths. Services are tailored to address the unique circumstances of each situation with the aim of making a positive difference.

Our Vision

People throughout Vermont have access to coordinated restorative justice that meets their individual needs. Restorative practices are embedded in Vermont communities and way of life.

Our Mission

VACDP supports and advocates for its member programs, promoting consistent high-quality restorative justice services in all counties.
