At-Risk Youth Programs
State governments, social welfare departments, Courts, local governments and not for profit organizations provide a range of programs to rehabilitate high risk groups among the youth of today.
These programs provide discipline, self esteem, social interaction and counseling for giving a better future to delinquent teenagers.
Common high risk youth programs are work and learn programs.
Delinquent youth get employment in parks and other local government establishments, businesses and libraries so that they learn the value of following strict routines, socially interacting with customers or patrons of the organizations they work with and developing self esteem through the work they do.
Some State governments provide after school programs to occupy the minds of teenagers after school.
These programs were first designed by local police departments.
Parents who work full time are not home when children return from school and this puts them in the high risk bracket.
They are at risk because they are unsafe and unsupervised when parents are at work.
These after school programs gave children of working parents a safe haven where they could learn skills under the supervision of adults after schools.
Children who attended these after school programs earned higher grades and were able to lead positive lifestyles.
Talent programs that encourage music and art have also helped high risk youth in some States.
Nurturing talent has helped delinquent children find a new focus and transformed their lifestyle.
Children are weaned away from substance abuse and other negative habits to making a healthy choice of developing their talents.
Talent development results in the development of self esteem and the result of enhanced self esteem is higher grades.
In some states school districts businesses and local communities work together to provide smaller classes and closer interaction between students and teachers for high risk youth groups.
The personal attention received by these students has resulted in improving attitudes towards school academic achievement and performance and social bonding among high risk youth.
Job corps and Green corps are government funded programs where high risk youth are given jobs that will develop their future skills.
These programs are organized by the department of labor in different states based on statistics of the type of skills that will be required for the industry in the next decade.
High risk youth work closely with experts while developing their skills and receive a stipend for work done.
This not only gives them a sense of achievement but improves their attitudes and vision for their future.
Some States offer summer camps where life skills are taught to high risk youth.
They are taught to pursue a vocation at these camps and taught life skills like decision making, productive thinking, time management, the discipline of a routine, organizational skills and setting and achieving short term goals.
At risk and delinquent youth get their needs attended to at many programs organized for their welfare.
Society and the government regard them as misguided youth in need of help and every effort is made to rehabilitate them.
