The Peoria Park District Youth Outreach & Intervention Division develops, evaluates and disseminates programs and information that foster students’ ethical, social, and intellectual development. We also strive to deepen students’ commitment to reflect on the consequences of their decision-making while nurturing the students’ capacity to think skillfully and critically.

We believe that values such as kindness, helpfulness, personal responsibility, and respect for others and their property are essential qualities that will help students lead human and productive lives, thus keeping them from making choices that may lead to an increase in our prison population.
