Often times, students are entangled with peer pressure or negative environment. These challenges may result in unlawful activities and ODB is available to help youth clear their names through with the Courts. ODB's Service Learning Program has been in partnerships with Justice 2000 and the County of Milwaukee Court System. It has been a honor helping teens along with young adults gain court-ordered community services and become responsible and accountable individuals again. ~Restoration~
