Missouri Division of Youth Services (Amount: $700,688*)
The Missouri Department of Social Services, Division of Youth
Service (DYS), will focus on Missouri’s most serious, at-risk juvenile
offenders and provide them with an opportunity to experience healthy
relationships, learn vocational skills, and develop a sense of
community responsibility and work ethic. The target population
is adjudicated offenders ages14–21 who are committed to DYS. The
program will be available to youth statewide and will include youth
committed to the dual jurisdiction program, who will serve adult
probation after completing their sentence in a juvenile facility.
DYS will provide hands-on vocational exploration instruction in
some of its residential sites. It will also partner with local
community colleges and trade schools, enlist industry involvement,
and employ mentors/custodians to increase personal productivity
and self-reliance while youth receive aftercare services. In addition,
DYS will establish programs for youth who successfully complete
an individualized curriculum of treatment and educational goals
and objectives in a residential setting. During a youth’s transition
to the community, DYS will help the youth pursue formal vocational/career
skills, acquire job retention abilities, and develop independent
living skills. Youth who meet the enrollment requirements of community
colleges, vocational schools, or trade industry apprenticeship
programs will be assigned a mentor/custodian roommate on the campus
or in the immediate community.
Local contact: Dennis M. Gragg, 573–751–2799.
