Civics Academy, an online diversion program for low-level offenders, has been beneficial to the Georgia judicial circuits in which it’s already been implemented, court officials and others said.

Based in Monroe, the awareness-related education program consists of three five-hour classes, which can be completed over several days, based on the participant’s preference. It includes theft, drug and alcohol and basic responsibility awareness classes for individuals who have committed their first or second offense. Parenting and anger management awareness classes will be added soon, based on courts’ requests, said Chip Morris, Civics Academy’s founder and CEO and a licensed clinical social worker.
