Message from the Director

Our goal at Dimondale is to make a difference in the community by working with at-risk youth. Dimondale operates on the belief that young people who have skills, goals, and adequate family, peer, and community support as well as opportunities to contribute are much less likely to engage in high-risk behaviors than those who lack these skills and supports. To support this belief Dimondale is committed to creating a safe, nurturing environment in which youth will obtain skills that will allow them to become productive pillars of society.
