Diversion Classes offered for Teens in Maricopa County, Arizona
These classes are offered only for teens who are required to attend a diversion class by the Maricopa County Juvenile Justice system. There are four different class locations but they are not listed here because the classes are not open to the public. There is a Central Mesa location, a Dobson Road in Mesa location, a Tempe location and a West Valley location. You have been given the location information in the paperwork that you received when you met with your probation officer or attended teen court. If you have any questions or need to change a class attendance date, please phone/e-mail your probation officer or teen court representative. Thank you!
