Letter of Commitment
We are wrting this letter to the City of Greeley as part of Juvenile Diversion's participation in the
Youth Crime Prevention and Intervention local grant. Diversion's participation in this
community grant not only provides our program with many needed services, but the services we
are providing will also benefit the community through decreasing juvenile crime.
The services Juvenile Diversion will be providing as part of this grant include: substance abuse
prevention education, counseling and parenting services, access to community and or school
activities, and a staff/client ropes course activity. All of these services involve Diversion
utilizing various community programs. We are very aware of the need for collaboration between
different agenices and we look forward to continuing to work with the many different agencies in
our community that provide services for our clients.
The following agencies have committed to working with the Diversion program to fulfill the
goals of our YCPI grant application:
Island Grove Treatment Center - Provide UA's for Diversion clients, Drug and Alcohol
Evaluations, and Substance Abuse Prevention classes
The Restitution Center - Provide UA's for Diversion clients
Northern Colorado Psychcare - Provide a half day Ropes Course for Diversion staff and eight

appropriate services at the lower contract cost..

Needs Assessment - This will be the community wide needs assessment.
Risk Factor(s)Protective Factor(s)
Two primary community protective factors will be utilized through this project. (1) One
protective factor will be to provide additional resources to youth participating in the Juvenile
Diversion Program. This grant will provide resources to make available an in-house substance
abuse education program that will be available to all appropriate youth regardless of income.
Urine Analysis (UA's) and drug and alcohol evaluations will also be provided to help prevent
further drug and alcohol use. We also will be providing funds for clients to easily access
counseling and parenting services regardless of costs. Funds will also be available for youth to
participate in local recreational or school activities. (2) A second community protective factor is
providing supportive networks and social bonds. The "Ropes Course" will specifically be used
to help build rapport between counselors and their juvenile clients while also developing a
support network for the juveniles through their interaction with Diversion staff and other
juveniles in the program. Program goals include: trust-building, communication, and team
building.
Target Population
The 19th Judicial District Attorney's Juvenile Diversion Program is a pre-court program
primarily for first-time offenders with minor offenses, juveniles-- ages 10-18. Weld County is
the target population area with the majority of the juveniles being from the Greeley area. The
Juvenile Diversion population served for this project will be: 1) juveniles who are identified as
having substance abuse issues through the Colorado Youth Offender Level of Service Inventory
(CYO/LSI); 2)juveniles and families who have been identified as needing counseling and/or
parenting services based on the CYO/LSI; and 3) juveniles who, financially, do not have access
to local activities due to low family income.
Goals and Objectives
Goal I: To provide services for Juvenile Diversion clients and/or their families to help prevent
further involvement with the criminal justice system.
Objectives:
L Five Substance Abuse Prevention groups, facilitated by Island Grove Treatment Center
staff, will he offered in-house through Juvenile Diversion.
2. Juvenile Diversion clients with identified drug and/or alcohol issues will he required to
take UA screenings--at no cost to the client.
3. Five Juvenile Diversion clients with identified more serious drug and alcohol issues will
be required to have drug and alcohol evaluations completed with specific
recommendations as to treatment options.
4. Five Juvenile Diversion clients and/or families who have identified needs for Counseling
will be referred liar services at no cost.
-2-
5. Ten Juvenile Diversion families who have identified needs and interest in parenting
classes will be referred for services at no cost.
6. Thirty low income Juvenile Diversion juveniles will be provided funds to participate in
school and/or recreational activities and also bus passes to insure transportation.
7. Recognition items for juveniles who have been identified by counselors as doing very
well in Diversion and/or school or at home will be provided.
Goal II: To Provide an opportunity for Juvenile Diversion counselors to interact with their more
high-risk clients in a supportive environment outside of the office setting.
Objective:
1. A half day ropes course facilitated through Psychcare will be provided for eight identified
more high-risk clients and four Juvenile Diversion counselors.
Service Provision
This grant will provide for an in-house substance abuse education program to be
facilitated by Island Grove staff. This program will be broken down into three 90 minute
sessions. Each group will provide services for between 5-10 juveniles. A total of five groups
and approximately 40 juveniles will be served through this project. The clients will be referred
to these groups by the Diversion counselors. Clients who have been referred will have identified
drug and/or alcohol abuse issues based on the counselor's assessment. Clients will also be
referred for UA screens and drug and alcohol evaluations when appropriate. Both the LA's and
evaluations will help determine the current substance abuse of the juvenile. With this
information, the counselor will be able to determine appropriate referrals. The UA's and
evaluations will be provided by either Island Grove Treatment Center or The Restitution Center.
Recreational and school activity opportunities will be identified and appropriate referrals will be
made for low income clients who are interested in participating in a specific activity. Bus passes
will be provided and the activity will be paid for through the Diversion Program.
Recognition items will be given to juveniles who have been identified by their Diversion
counselors as exhibiting an excellent attitude or have shown dramatic progress while in the
Diversion Program.
Proposed Service Outcomes
The Juvenile Diversion Program will have an affordable means to provide substance abuse
education/information to our clients who have been identified as having drug and/or alcohol
abuse issues. Through this project, 40 identified youth will complete a three session, five hour
substance abuse education program facilitated at the Juvenile Diversion office by Island Grove
Treatment Center staff. Juveniles will then he better informed on how to deal with their
substance abuse issues in working in conjunction with their Diversion counselors. Counselors
will also have the availability to make a referral for UA's for those juveniles who have been
identified as currently using drugs and/or alcohol. Both of these services will be provided at no
cost to the juvenile. Through these groups and UA screens, the counselor will be better able to
work with the juvenile to become drug and alcohol free while on the Diversion Program
-3-
Through the activity funds project, low income clients will have access to local
recreational activities that they would otherwise not be involved in due to family income. These
activities will provide an opportunity for the juveniles to be involved in experiences and meet
other youth who are involved in pro-social activities. The recognition awards will encourage
Diversion youth to continue working toward their goals.
Through the "Ropes Course" program, a total of 8 designated higher risk juveniles will
complete a half day program with their Diversion counselors. Proposed outcomes for the ropes
course will include: 1) counselors will build additional rapport with their clients, 2) clients will
develop additional skills such as communication, team building and problem solving, 3)
juveniles will build confidence in themselves and boost their self esteem, and 4) counselors and
juveniles will develop a sense of trust and additional understanding of each other.
Evaluation System
Statistics will be kept as to the number ofjuveniles participating in each program.
Specific statistics will be taken as to how many UA's each youth has taken and if they stayed
clean while in the program. A pre- and post-test will be given to all substance education groups,
clients participating in activities and the ropes course group, to measure changes in attitudes,
skills, and information.
Past Results
We are completing our second year of our YCPI grant. Clients participating in
substance abuse prevention classes showed increased knowledge as to what they can do to stay
away from drugs and alcohol. We have also found that counselors have been able to assign
UA's immediately to clients they have had concerns about, without concerns related to the clients'
family's income. This has helped counselors to have current information as to what drugs, if
any, and to what extent, the client is using.
Collaboration
Many organizations will be participating in this project. Juvenile Diversion will refer the
juveniles for the substance abuse education program and provide for the group room where the
classes will be held. Island Grove Regional Treatment Center will provide the CAC III facilitator
for the 3 group program. Clients will he referred for UA's through Island Grove Treatment
Center and The Restitution Center/Villa. Parenting classes and counseling services will be
referred through a process of identifying those agencies and/or individuals who have the
therapeutic skills and lower fee schedule. The activity component of the program will entail
developing relationships with the various Weld County schools and arca recreational programs.
Juvenile Diversion will also refer juveniles for the one ropes course activity. Northern Colorado
Psychcare will provide the ropes course and the facilitators for the half-day program. All of these
organizations will be working collaboratively to continually assess the content and success of the
programs, and make changes when and if necessary and appropriate.
--
Administrative Capability
This grant will be administered and monitored by the Community Programs
Administrator for Juvenile Diversion on a daily basis. The YCPI grant contract will be presented
for approval by the Board of Weld County Commissioners.

Through the proven success of these programs, other funding sources will be targeted.

foundation grants.
