Success Story4-H Teams with Court Designated Diversion



4-H Teams with Court Designated Diversion

Author: Mary McCarty

Planning Unit: Menifee County CES

Major Program: 4-H Youth Development Programming

Plan of Work: Unrelated to a specified County Plan of Work

Outcome: Initial Outcome

According to youth.gov diverting youth who have committed minor offenses away from the system and towards community-based treatment and support options is a better way to direct the youth to a better life pattern.  The Menifee County 4-H agents and the Gateway Court Designated Workers developed a program that will teach self-worth to the youth.  A planning meeting was held in November to discuss what the court workers needed the program to contain.  An agenda was put together by the 4-H agents and 2 programs were scheduled.   At the January program 4 youth attended from 1:00 to 3:30. The February program should have 7 youth registered.    

The students that participate in the diversion program in Menifee County have gotten in trouble at school for juuling during school hours.  The January program youth participated in nutrition, cooking, dress for success, communication, and vaping video.  Lessons for the program came from the FCS Cooking lessons and the FCS Workforce Prep Curriculum.  Plans for the February program will revolve around conflict resolution.
