Youth Civil Citation serves a diverse population which consists of clients that include all genders, races, ethnicities and socio-economic backgrounds. Their ages range from 7 to 17 years.
The goal of the Youth Civil Citation program is to divert mainly first-time offending misdemeanor youth from the Department of Juvenile Justice system. It will also provide a timely, multicultural response to the needs of the targeted youth, family and community. The Intervention Services Case Manager and Supervisor will ensure that each youth completes an assessment, receives a case staffing, participates in Intervention Level services and referral services, as needed.
The Youth Civil Citation program develops an Intervention Plan with the person served during the initial intake meeting to address emergent and on-going issues. The plan is reviewed every 30 days and can be revised to address new issues. The client and their parent/guardian come to the office for an exit meeting, which allows the Case Manager to obtain documentation, completion of the satisfaction surveys, and to provide referrals or community-based information, if needed, for further services.
