Project Title: Mental health support & Job training for youth involved in the Juvenile Court
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
After 5+ years working alongside the Kent County Juvenile Court in the role of community service job site, I
\nhave seen more and more youth enter the system. Over the last couple of years my husband and myself are
\npreparing to open a clothing resale store where our staff are youth working on job training skills. The numbers
\nare rising at an alarming rate for so many reasons. Over the last year, I have begun to build relationships with
\nyouth, probation officers, youth program leaders, and juvenile justice leaders. There are needs greater than
\nwhat are being offered based on conversations with the Sheriff and leaders of the judicial system. Out of these
\nconversations people are rising up to change the culture of our community and offer support for the youth that
\nare turning to gangs and illegal activities to fill the voids in their young lives. Court directed programs are
\nsupporting youth. The needs include high school completion support, vocational job shadowing and training,
\nmale mentors, entrepreneurial skills, but most of all goal setting accountability and responsibility training. There
\nwill be weekly opportunities for youth to have access to mental health clinicians, mentors, tutoring, vocational job
\nshadowing, and skills based programs. Through the relationships and opportunities, the youth will improve their
\nown self esteem, set goals, but become responsible, reliable young men to themselves, their families, and their
\ncommunities.
\nOn site youth will be learning HVAC skills, auto detailing, oil change, brake changes, retail job training, and
\ngardening. Other skills will be taught and experiences off site. The basic auto maintenance will be donated back
\nto the community working with LOVE INC on Kent County to provide support for families by checking fluids,
\nfilling, changing brake pads and possible rotors, and oil change.<\/p>\n
