The document discusses the benefits of aftercare programs for juvenile offenders. It explains that aftercare programs utilize halfway houses, counseling, employment assistance, and other services to help juvenile offenders successfully reintegrate into the community after being released from residential placement. Research shows these programs reduce recidivism rates by providing offenders with support, skills, and positive environments needed to stay out of trouble. The document also outlines different types of aftercare programs, including foster homes, shelter care, group homes, and wilderness programs. It argues that aftercare should be emphasized over confinement, as it improves public safety and the long-term outcomes of juvenile offenders.
Social Work Foster Care Advocacy-Literature ReviewAshlynDeCarlo
This project demonstrates my knowledge and research about social workers advocating for foster youth aging out of the foster care system. This information was helpful to have completed prior to my job at The Place of Forsyth when I worked with a student in the foster care system a year out of aging out of the system. This project connected to the Families and Individuals in Societal Contexts competency of the Certified Family Life Educator matrix due to the adaptability of the foster youth learning what is necessary and important to living life on their own. It also related to the Interpersonal Relationships competency in the social worker building trust and rapport with the youth and guiding them on how to do that themselves.
The personal opinions may vary from individual to individual. But the main essence of the topic is equally significant to all individuals irrespective of their age, gender and social positions (Huggins-Hoyt, 2014). Their duty towards the society should be unbiased and should have equal social responsibility to have higher chances of progress. The newer policies and procedures should comply well with the societal needs and personal demands should be supported at large. This will increase the welfare mechanisms and the humans service career development will be widened up.

Advancing Inclusive and Sustainable Urban Development: Correcting Planning Fa...Jonathan Dunnemann
Tackling urban poverty and attending to its spatial manifestations is vitally important to national economic and social development. From a low of an estimated 28 percent of
the population in Latin America to a high of 76 percent in South Asia, the urban poor constitute both an enormous challenge and an opportunity. The speed with which many
regions of the world are urbanizing, the haphazard spatial development of urban areas, and the deplorable conditions under which more than 800 million slum dwellers live make the need to address urban poverty more urgent than ever. At the same time, government and business leaders are awakening to the potential to advance social and economic development by engaging the urban poor as consumers, producers, assetbuilders,
and entrepreneurs.

Juvenile Mentoring Program (JUMP)Purpose To support one-to-.docxcroysierkathey
Juvenile Mentoring Program (JUMP)
Purpose: To support one-to-one mentoring programs for youth at risk of educational failure, dropping out of school, or involvement in delinquent activities, including gangs.
Background: Part G of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (JJDP) Act of 1974, as amended, authorizes the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) to fund a Juvenile Mentoring Program (JUMP). In fiscal year (FY) 1996, Congress appropriated $4,000,000 to implement this program.
Mentoring, as the term is currently used, can be defined as a one-to-one relationship between a pair of unrelated individuals, usually of different ages, which takes place on a regular basis over an extended period of time. It is usually characterized by a "special bond of mutual commitment" and "an emotional character of respect, loyalty, and identification" (Hamilton, 1990).
As a movement, mentoring has its roots in the closing decades of the 19th century with "Friendly Visitors" who served as role models for children of the poor. Mentoring enjoyed new popularity in the 1970's when corporations heralded the concept as one that fosters achievement. Mentoring was seen as a particularly critical ingredient to success on the corporate ladder (Freedman, 1992).
Within the past 10 years, mentoring has taken on a new dimension and a new target group disadvantaged children and youth. It has emerged as a promising approach for enriching children's lives; addressing the isolation of youth from adult contact; and providing, on a one-to-one basis, support and advocacy to children who need it. Mentoring is also recognized as an important vehicle for harnessing the talents of volunteers to address the problems of poverty (Freedman, 1992).
Congress has recognized the potential of mentoring as a tool for addressing two critical concerns: poor school performance and delinquent activity. Accordingly, OJJDP is making funds available for mentoring programs that specifically address these concerns. Congress also has recognized the importance of school collaboration in mentoring programs, whether as a primary applicant or in partnership with other public or nonprofit private entities.
In a recent study of mentoring, Public/Private Ventures (P/PV) conducted an experimental evaluation of Big Brothers and Big Sisters (BB/BS) programs (Tierney et al., 1995). In this study youth were randomly assigned to a BB/BS mentoring program or to a BB/BS waiting list. The study emphasized the importance of carefully structured programs with adequate management, training, case management, policies, procedures, and establishment of clear standards. These standards relate to screening of the adults and youth, training and orientation of volunteers, the matching process, required frequency of meetings, and supervision of matches.
In determining whether a one-to-one mentoring experience made a tangible difference in the lives of these young people, the study identified sever ...

YOUTHBUILD OFFENDER PROGRAM
One juvenile program that focuses on interventions for juveniles is the YouthBuild offender program which is across states in the US. The program was put in place targeting low-income youths between the ages of 16-24 who had been previously convicted of a crime (National Institute of Social Justice 2018). Following many reported cases of young people in the US engaging in petty crimes to be heard or pass a point, YouthBuild seeks to accomplish goals that help the youth become productive members of society. This is by ensuring that they acquire the necessary skills that will help them land a suitable job. It also aims to ensure that the youth complete school by earning diplomas that will suffice in seeking employment opportunities. Getting jobs or being in school for the young people ensures that they are not involved in criminal activities which could send them to juvenile centers. Securing jobs helps the young people have a stable life which does not allow them to seek criminal alternatives to make ends meet.
The YouthBuild program is a post delinquent program that helps youth who were previously convicted of a crime and are likely to be remedied by instilling good behavior in them. The court refers the delinquents to this program as a diversion to avoid putting them behind bars or after the delinquents have completed their jail term and the correctional facilities feel that the young person has room to change. The offender program tries to bring about change by ensuring that the people sent to the center to enroll in learning programs, therefore create a platform for the delinquents attains a diploma. The platform also seeks to prepare the trainees for the job market by equipping t.

The description of the grant to be used in this paper includes the promotion and foster of community partnerships to reduce homelessness in various communities. In essence, the project is intended to engage both provincial and territorial government levels to join the effort of aligning homelessness investments and priorities with the ultimate goals and objectives to prevent and reduce the aspect of homelessness especially in many youths (Forchuk, 2018). To elaborate, the grant is a unique program based on community affairs with the ultimate goals of eliminating if not reducing homelessness issues within various communities. Moreover, the project is aimed to accomplish this by encouraging funders to directly provide their support and funds to about sixty designated communities across all territories and provinces that are possible to reach. The most appropriate hyperlink for identifying RFP is: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6054288/
One of the significant factors that make this grant to be worth and for one to gain the confidant of pursuing it is the fact that it has been witnessed working for other countries. For instance, the grant was implemented in Canada in 2011, where it served over three hundred projects and managed to raise over fifty-five million Canadian dollars. The funds were well utilized by focusing them on, especially youth and young adults of age fifteen to twenty-eight. Based on that, it is a potential grant that I believe if well managed it is worth to take the risk as it guarantees the reduction of homelessness.
For evaluation purposes, several questions were identified to assess whether the grant was aligned with the objectives and goals of eliminating or reducing the aspect homelessness in various communities within the country. Furthermore, there were designed questions that aimed at assessing the progress of the program in its implementation including coordination, communication, reporting, adherence to housing first principles, monitoring as well as an assessment of early outcomes of the grant.
In accomplishing all the necessary criteria that were required by the project, I utilized Bing as my search engine for the task.
The goals and objectives of the selected funding agency are to ensure that it provides all the necessary resources that can enable the non-profitable organizations with its purposes of fulfilling the intended impact towards the communities concerned. Besides, the agency is aimed at addressing the essential issues relating to homelessness of especially youths and young adults within different communities.
The primary reason for selecting the RFP is accompanied by the fact that commu ...

Delinquency Prevention and Diversion Programs 5Introduction
Delinquency prevention programs entail superseding youths' and children's lives to deter them from delinquent acts. Delinquency prevention programs occur outside the juvenile justice system, and the plans are not organized to undermine and exclude justice personnel. Diversion programs are substitutes that are entwined to initial or progressive official dispensation of the youth in the juvenile delinquency system. Diversion programs majorly entail redirecting the youthful wrongdoers from the justice system through different programs such as sports, supervision, and recreational activities. In this work, we will see the basic assumptions for these programs, the justification of these programs, and the public's reluctance to finance them. Basic Assumptions for Delinquency Prevention and Diversion ProgramsA match in the parties
There should be an understanding between all the underlying parties for the prevention delinquency and diversion program to be successful. According to Lipsey, the parties involved include the juvenile target, the host organization, and the program's concepts. The targeted individual must be willing to undergo the guide program in his trial to quit the adapted behavior. In this case, the target is the leading party since the whole program's success depends on their willingness. The host must also be willing to work with the particular individual, lay and work a program suitable for the exercise (Farrington, et al, 2017). The most applicable program to this assumption is the school program. Since many minors spend a lot of time in school than in any other institution, there is a need to conduct delinquency prevention and diversion programs in schools. Therefore, the school must be willing to roll a plan suitable to accommodate the targeted juvenile's interests. The parents may also play a part in convincing the juvenile to enroll in that program. The assumptions work in all preventions; primary, secondary and tertiary preventions. The matching of all the parties hence makes it easy for the program to run. No specific program is effective
In these juvenile court programs of delinquency prevention, we assume no single program can effectively do away with delinquency. The main reason behind this assumption is that the underlying problems are from different sources. The crimes may be a result of low housing, poverty, inadequate education, among others. These existing problems are complex and independent, such that not a single program can overhaul them once. Therefore, the host organization must plan on a series of programs related to each of the problems. Besides, it is prudent to target the issues first rather than the prevention of their outcomes. (Johnson, 1998) suggests that for effective prevention, we have to deal with t ...

2. Why Aftercare Programs For The Youth Help Reduce Recidivism 2
Youth have been committing more crimes than years before. Now that there are more
programs and opportunities for the youth, the benefits can be seen. The programs are more
complex and can target a variety of different youthful offenders. These programs are important
to successfully helping the youth offenders rehabilitate and to not reoffend. This research will
address what aftercare programs entail, factors that are considered in programs, types of aftercare
programs, benefits of aftercare programs, importance of aftercare, and a summary of the
findings.
Aftercare utilizes a number of programs to help aid youth. Some of programs include
halfway houses, employment help, counseling, and medical treatment (Merlo, Benekos, &
Champion, 2016). Programs are also designed to help the youth after their time is up with
residential placement (Merlo, Benekos, & Champion, 2016).
There are various elements that are considered for juveniles to successfully return to the
community and complete reentry programs. The first element is assessing the risk of each
juvenile’s potential to reoffend, their needs, and their strengths (Altschuler & Bilchik, 2014).
The second element requires investigation of looking into behavioral involvements. Another
element is determining the family’s commitment to help the juvenile (Altschuler & Bilchik,
2014). Towards the end of the program, discharge readiness will need to be examined, followed
by then developing a plan for the juvenile to follow once released from the program (Altschuler
& Bilchik, 2014).
Two factors that are addressed with the youth are the protective and risk factors. The risk
can be classified as anything that would escalate the person to undergo some sort of harm. A
protective factor would be something that lessens the possibility of a risk factor taking place
(U.S. Government , n.d.). Some possible fields to protective and risk factors that influence the

youth are community, peers and schools. Individual risk factors of youth can be hyperactivity,
poverty and low cognitive development. Positive protective factors could be good IQ, religion
and a desire to please elders (U.S. Government , n.d.).
One option and type of aftercare program is foster homes. These homes are meant for
youth to be there temporarily for control and guidance purposes. When the youth are placed in a
foster home it does not necessarily mean they are law violators. The youth that are placed in
foster homes could be placed there simply because the parents are found to be unable to properly
care for their child. Placing a child in a foster home gives the child the opportunity to be in a
stable environment. Foster homes are used quite frequently; in 2012, there were 400,000 youth
in foster homes. Most of the time the youth that are placed in foster homes are there because of
minor offenses (Merlo, Benekos, & Champion, 2016).
Another aftercare option is shelter care. Shelter care helps create a home-based setting to
host youth over a short period of time. The staff provide for the youth anywhere from a couple
hours a day to multiple weeks. Shelter care facilities can be located in suburban housing areas
and look like normal houses. These facilities do not have any special characteristics that
differentiate them from other places, such as signs. Primarily the focus of shelter care is only
used for youth that are status offenders (Merlo, Benekos, & Champion, 2016).
One alternative for a judge to place a youth offender in is group homes. Group homes
can be either private or public and are community based. In group homes, residents and
counselors presume the duty of acting as parents to groups ranging from 10 to 20 youth (Merlo,
Benekos, & Champion, 2016). Specific group homes are called family group homes because
they are family controlled. When alternatives are being considered for the youth to be placed in
a group home is a popular choice. They offer treatment and guidance for youth. As of 2010,
4. Why Aftercare Programs For The Youth Help Reduce Recidivism 4
according to a biannual census taken on residential facilities, there were 528 group homes. A
requirement of group homes is that the youth take part in an educational program, go to school,
follow a curfew, and go to therapy or get medical treatment (Merlo, Benekos, & Champion,
2016).
Halfway houses are also available to the youth. The halfway houses assist the youth in
transition from a secure facility they were in to being back in the community. While at the
halfway houses, the youth develop plans for living independently. One example of a halfway
house is called the Abraxas House in Staunton, Virginia. At the Abraxas house, there are
programs for the youth to learn about living skills, community services, and character
development (Merlo, Benekos, & Champion, 2016).
There are many other programs that can be beneficial to the youth, such as wilderness
projects, ranches, camps, and skill programs. These types of programs cost less than regular
programs. In 2010 wilderness camps and ranches accounted for 3% of youth facilities. Rawhide
Boys Ranch is an experience program located in Wisconsin. One unique value is that it is a faith
based program. Private and public agencies can make recommendations for you to go here.
Some focus points of Rawhide Boys Ranch are case management, social services, educational
development, employment training, and foster care services (Merlo, Benekos, & Champion,
2016).
Aftercare programs provide a variety of different benefits. When aftercare programs are
utilized overcrowding is cut down. Additionally, youth improve their chance of fully completing
rehabilitation. Aftercare also helps to discourage youth from offending in the future (Merlo,
Benekos, & Champion, 2016).

It is important to give the youth an opportunity to be in aftercare. When youth are in
aftercare programs it aids in giving youth an encouraging environment as well as improves the
overall public safety. If youth are taken into an institutional setting, this can hinder the youth
from growing in skills necessary upon release. When youth return home from incarceration they
are 75 percent more likely to reoffend within three years (JJIE, 2016).
In conclusion there are a variety of different programs available for youth instead of
confinement. I believe youth of nonviolent crimes should be directed into some type of aftercare
program. The programs not only give the youth a positive environment to succeed in but also
help in planning after they complete the program. Opportunities for youth are far greater than
just putting them in confinement. Once youth are in the program they learn new skills, receive
an education or vocational schooling, and improve behavior. When giving youth value and
purpose in life we will increase their want to succeed in society. If we want to see the change in
a generation then we must be leaders, role models, and advocates of the change.
