The Cobb County Solicitor General’s Office celebrated the opening of its new Solicitor General Annex Office on May 6, marking the expansion of youth-focused restorative justice initiatives. The Annex, located at 122 Waddell Street, Marietta, is now the permanent home of the SMART CHOICES – Youthful Offender Program.
“The new Solicitor General Annex Office gives us the opportunity to expand our youthful offender second-chance program and build SMART CHOICES into a more comprehensive and impactful initiative,” said Solicitor General Makia Metzger.
The program tailors accountability, educational, vocational, and professional development plans to each participant. Requirements may also include restitution, mental health evaluations, or treatment. Attendance at the program’s newly developed two-part educational seminar series is now mandatory.
To date, more than 200 participants have successfully completed the SMART CHOICES program.
