DYS Vision Statement Arkansas’s juvenile justice system is a leader in reform and

collaboration across the state, working to prevent most youth from ever needing legal intervention and providing those that do with effective rehabilitation and reintegration; youth that become

involved with the juvenile justice system are treated, educated, and equipped with the tools they need to find success as

productive and responsible members of collective society.

DYS Mission Statement The Division of Youth Services’ mission is to provide effective

community-based prevention, diversion, appropriate correction and rehabilitation, improved education and thorough aftercare in

order to enhance the comprehensive well-being of the youth of Arkansas involved in the juvenile justice system.
