11. Staffing
Most State Programs run ratios of 1:8, 1
counselor to 8 youth. Some are fortunate
enough to staff 1:5. Cabin Creek Cultural
Center has created a business plan that
will support staffing of 1:3. This will
optimize our ability to run a successful
program, reduce recidivism, and give our
youth the one on one attention they need.
