Rural Programs includes short-term detention services, secure care, case management, observation and assessment services, community-based alternatives, home detention, work programs, shelters, receiving centers, and early intervention services all designed to meet the needs of youth offenders in rural areas of the state. These services are typically bundled together into a "multi-use" facility and are budgeted separately from the same programs and services located along, what is considered, the Wasatch Front. The Wasatch Front services are tracked in the Early Intervention program.

DJJS Administration does not currently provide program specific performance measures for the Rural Programs program. Instead, the results of the services and programs in Rural Programs are rolled up into those measures found in the Early Intervention, Community Programs, and Correctional Facilities programs.
This program operates under authority derived from sections found at UCA 62A-7. The program provides a combination of services found in each of the other DJJS programs but specifically focuses on rural parts of the state.
