Justice-Involved Youth Services

Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) emphasizes the educational stability of justice-involved youth.

The justice-involved youth programming support students using a two prong approach; internal and external teams.  The teams forge a mentorship between our justice-involved student and adult stakeholders.   

External transition support team - community stakeholders, who are currently serving the student and their caregiver(s). The team objectives are:

• • Address the student and caregiver(s) social needs outside of school 
  • Solicit needed social providers and ensure services are delivered in a timely manner
  • Communicate regularly with the internal support team
  • Recommend job readiness and shadowing opportunities
  • Offer school orientation support

Internal transition support team is the student's home school support. The team objectives are:

• • Create a student transition plan
  • Set academic and social goals for the student 
  • Regularly assess and evaluate the transition plan impact
  • Communicate regularly with the external support team
  • Recommend student participation in extracurricular programs
