Juvenile Mentoring Program
Juvenile Mentoring Program (JUMP) serves low and medium risk youth, ages 12-17, in the delinquency system. Through mentoring, group activities, community service opportunities, and access to evidence based curriculum including Aggression Replacement Training (ART) and Victim Offender/Community Awareness Impact of Crime, youth are given practical and social skills intended to help them avoid future delinquent behavior. Our staff works closely with the youth’s Juvenile Probation officer and the youth’s family to build an individual service plan that outlines expectations around participation in the various groups and activities offered each month.
Stormbreak Girls Group Home
YSB’s Stormbreak Girls Group Home provides up to nine young women aged 12-19 who are involved with the child dependency or delinquency system with a safe, structured, and nurturing environment to learn and grow. Through real-life experiences in the home and in the community, residents gain skills that help them work towards permanency with family, foster care, or other permanent living. Residents attend public school and participate in developmentally appropriate extracurricular activities and employment opportunities. A focus on individualized treatment is the basis of the program’s success. Positive change for the individual and family is our goal. To learn more about these services, call us at 814-234-7929.
Supervised Independent Living
YSB’s Supervised Independent Living Program provides residential support to youth aged 16-21 who are involved with the child dependency or delinquency system. Young people live independently in apartments around the community with offsite supervision from their Youth Advocate. With the goal of becoming self-sufficient, youth receive support from staff as they focus on continuing their education or finding and maintaining employment. Together with staff, youth develop essential life skills such as budgeting, cooking, nutrition, and social skills, empowering them to build meaningful connections and achieve independence. To learn more about these services, call us at 814-234-0803.
Reunification
Reunification provides permanency services to children who have entered out-of-home care. The program uses an in-home, family focused approach for children who have been separated from their families due to abuse, neglect, dependency, or delinquency issues. Staff work directly with family members through case management and counseling to resolve the issues leading up to the family’s separation and to ensure the child can return home safely or find permanency through other family members, foster parents, or adoption.
