A Global Hub for Supervision Practices
The concept for the SAW Project was born at the 2nd World Congress on Community Corrections in 2015, when SAW Founder Julie Truschel interviewed supervision professionals from around the world about what they were doing in community corrections. Today, the SAW Project continues this collaborative effort to review, share and learn from experts around the world so we can improve models, outcomes, communities, and lives. The SAW Project offers a global hub where industry professionals can learn, connect, and share insights. See what we are doing today!

The data from Missoula, Montana, speaks for itself: the Center for Restorative Youth Justice (CRYJ) is showing us what happens when guidance over grievances are prioritized. By providing a restorative path at a fraction of the cost of traditional detention, they are choosing to empower young people to learn, grow, and remain vital parts of their community.
This is "Diversion in Action"—creating spaces where youth can take responsibility and find support. 🤝🏔️
