As I begin meeting the people who volunteer for the Juvenile Justice Ministry, it has been encouraging to me to see their level of commitment to the kids. We have volunteers who have been working with these kids 12 plus years.
I have been talking to a few churches in the community about starting programs for "at risk" kids. This program will focus on kids within the church's community who are potential candidates for the juvenile system. The goal will be to find individuals attending the church who are willing to be mentors to these kids.
Within the next several months I hope to be starting a class at the boys Ranch at lake Afton. This class will be a "values" based class. I hope to teach practical ways to establish a faith-based value system these kids can use to help them make better decisions.
