These are our Kids *

We're now setting up our Annual Santa Cruz Chapter Meeting for Wednesday, November 12, 2008. We intend to make the "business meeting" short (report on the past year's activities, plans for the next, elect a new board and such) and spend most of the time learning about the innovative juvenile detention system in Santa Cruz County. Nominations for the Board are open - click here to see the list of nominees.

Little known to much of our community, we host a model program which has been successfully diverting many youth offenders away from incarceration, and at the same time reducing overall youth crime. Come and learn more on Wednesday, November 12, 2008. Hope to see you there!

We have three exciting speakers lined up for this discussion - click here to learn about these 3 people. 

* The title of this posting - These are our Kids - comes from a video made about three national model programs in which communities made tremendous changes in reducing juvenile detention and juvenile crime. The communities of Chicago, IL, Portland, OR and Santa Cruz, CA host these model programs. View the video on line at:
