CCMA Justice for Juniors @ CUA
 
 
 
The mentoring program is focused on ethical dialogue, community building, workforce development, and building preparatory skills for life and college. The VISTA project will help youth currently in the Youth Services Center and those who have moved from the Youth Services Center into transitional housing. The goal of this program is to address the growing opportunity gap in DC by giving the support and resources needed for the youth in transition to be empowered to take control of their future. The youth will have the opportunity to build positive relationships as well the life skills needed to give them access to opportunities that can reduce the likelihood of recidivism. The VISTA will enhance our existing partnership with Justice for Juniors, in collaboration with the Youth Services Center, as well as create a new mentoring program for youth at CUA. The program will help to build and improve sustainability for the Justice for Juniors organization by creating organizational resources. The VISTA will help implement and improved, comprehensive training of volunteers, create curriculum with input from the youth being served, and design resources for reflection and discussion for all participants. We expect the following short-term outcomes with long-term effects: Youths will be able to articulate their own personal goals for their future and build the VISTA Continuation Application. Skills necessary to achieve these goals: Youths will build positive relationships and engage in dialogue with their mentors, participating in hands-on learning about ethical and critical dialogue, community building as well as life, workforce, and college preparedness skills. Youth will strengthen their communication and literacy, as well as building successful decision-making and time-management skills. With the program being housed at the university, the youth will be exposed to higher education, and receive an introductory curriculum to various professions for workforce development.
