BACKGROUND
This is amending C-80 from Board hearing of September 10, 1996.
The California State Office of Criminal Justice Planning is accepting applications for
discretionary fiords to support prevention programs with high risk youth.
The goal is to create innovative programs which will allow qualitative evaluation of
the effectiveness of specific prevention, intervention, and treatment services under the
management of Probation Departments. A secondary goal is to develop a project or
components of a project which might serve as a model for statewide replication.
Among the planned activities under this grant:
1. Fostering closer cooperation and coordination of service provision between
law enforcement, schools,public agencies and community based organizations;
2. Making referrals to appropriate community resources and programs readily
accessible to families in need of services;
3. Coordinating a continuum of appropriate and effective services for high risk
youth from early prevention programs through active intervention with serious
habitual offenders;
4. Coordinating services for high risk youth ranging from school'attendance and
performance assistance, appropriate penalties for behavior damaging to the
community,victim restitution activities, encouragement of positive
involvement in sports and other community activities, and job skills
development.
5. Providing a computer learning center combined with a mentoring program to
foster skills development,nurture interest in learning, and to provide
alternatives to crime or gang activities by high risk youth.
