The
program operates from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. every Monday,
Tuesday and Thursday, and from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
on Wednesdays and Fridays. Twenty-five to 30 participants
from Union County are transported daily by staff. The

The
program strives to improve self-esteem and develop a
sense of self worth among the participants. Through
shared experiences, group counseling and discipline,
each juvenile identifies alternative approaches to the
daily conflicts he she face. |
