        <Desc>1) Buncombe and Rutherford County Teen Court: Teen court is an innovative diversion program which alllows first-time juvenile violators of the law to come before a jury of their peers in a court hearing instead of going to Juvenile Court. The defendant must admit guilt during the intake interview in order to participate. Teen court stresses the importance of positive peer pressure through restorative justice to help correct illegal behavior. Teen Court reinforces positive behavior while encourgaging accountability. Teen Court alco teaches youth volunteers (the Jury) the responsibility of citizenship or how to act for the common good. During FY 2020-2021, Buncombe Alternatives served school-based teens.</Desc>

      <ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp>
        <Desc>Earn &amp; Learn Restitution/Restorative Community Service Program: This program is for diverted youth and youth on probation. Its premise is that restitution/restorative programming is effective when a juvenile accepts responsilbility for his or her offenses and is committed to the principle of making amends to the victim and the community. Goals are to increase restitution payments made to victime of juvenile crimes, teach offenders accountability and responsibility for their crimes and provide structure and monitoring for their payment of restitution, reduce the workload of the court counselors, support victims, and provide offenders with employable skills and resources.</Desc>

        <ExplanationTxt>Pt X, Line 2: Buncombe Alternatives is generally exempt from federal income taxes under 501 c 3 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the Code, however, income from certain activities not related to Buncome Alternatives' tax-exempt purpose may be subject to taxation as unrelated business income. Buncombe Alternatives has no income from unrelated business activities in the year ended June 30, 2020 and was, therefore, not required to file Federal Form 990-T Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return. Buncombe Alternatives believes that it has appropriate support for all tax positions taken, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements.</ExplanationTxt>
