April 2017 CMWS: ReEntry Mentoring: Conversations from the Field; Working with System-Involved Youth

Thousands of youth are arrested each year, beginning a gateway for many into the juvenile justice system. Throughout the country, mentoring programs are providing system-involved youth with the opportunity to be connected to a mentor in their own community to stop the cycle. Join this webinar as representatives from the following organizations share how they engage system-involved youth through mentoring and how they are expanding:

*Family ReEntry has created a community-based mentoring model serving youth (ages 10-17) who are involved with juvenile probation. They work with the judicial branch to receive referrals for youth. These one-to-one community matches focus on supporting youth to build internal skills and assets to strengthen personal capacity and reduce recidivism.
*Nationally recognized for its unique approach to establish positive youth-adult relationships, The Governor’s Prevention Partnership serves as the capacity builder and fiduciary organization for Connecticut’s Juvenile Justice Mentoring Network. The Partnership provides ongoing training and technical assistance to help participating mentoring programs successfully work with system-involved youth using an evidence-based and wrap-around services mentoring model.

Join this webinar to learn evidence-based strategies for how your mentoring program can support system-involved youth.
