SC DJJ received a grant from the US department of Justice to develop a
program that creates a reintegration team consisting of staff from state
agencies who have traditionally provided services independently from each
other and community volunteers who are trained to provide youth and family
mentoring. This team is created to plan for aftercare from the moment a
young person is placed into the DJJ system and works to ensure that both the
child and the family are cared for. VECTOR volunteers are members of the
reintegration team and the Foundation helps provide furnishings and fixtures
when housing has been acquired so that young people in need have the ability
to successfully live independently. |
