Child and
Family Services of the Upper Peninsula, in collaboration with the Chippewa
County Department of Human Services, offers "From Decisions to Actions", a
program serving at risk youth ages 12-17 in Chippewa County.
"From Decisions to Actions" is an educational program addressing youth
issues (in the community, school, or home) that could lead to juvenile
delinquency problems. Classes run a minimum of ten weeks and culminate in
Graduation for those completing the program.
Parents are required to meet separately from children attending the program,
and receive separate instruction. Mentors and advocates are established for
each participating youth. A specific curriculum is followed, offering
workbooks, classroom learning, and speakers specific to juvenile issues.
Classes are scheduled several times each year based on need. With the same
curriculum, but designed for a younger audience, the "Fred and Ted" class
(geared toward youth 6-11 years old) is also offered as the need arises.
