Growing Kings believes that most at-risk youth can be best supported by being diverted to a network of intentional, long-term care, as opposed to arrest and incarceration. The King in Me is an alternative-to-detention diversion program designed to reduce the number of low-level juvenile cases filed, and reduce the overall number of male youth who become involved with the juvenile court system. The program engages 14-17 year old male youth who have been arrested, are actively involved in the juvenile justice system, pose a risk to public safety, and/or are likely to fail to appear in court. The King in Me employs a non-punitive approach in the filing of juvenile cases by diverting youth into an evidence-based treatment program, as opposed to pursuing post-adjudication consequences, which often result in a juvenile record and juvenile detention.
