RE: Senate Bill 94 Pilot Extension
Dear Ms. Harbert;
The Weld County Juvenile Community Review Board reviewed the
request for extension submitted by Partners for local support and
approval of the Weld Community Review Board as required.
Previously the Board of Commissioners approved the SR 94 Pilot
project for one-year ending February 15, 1.993 . Partners has
requested that the pilot project continue without interruption
thrcugh June 30, 1993 to be fully funded by DYS.
The Community Review Board after reviewing the request for project
extension submitted by Partners recommends the Weld County Board
Commissioners approve the pilot project for the extended period.
Members of this Community Review Board would be willing to meet
with the Board of Commissioners on this matter if needed.
Sincerely,

Re: SB-94 contract # YS-2124
Dear Larry,
Please accept the enclosed request for a contract revision and
extension regarding the successful SB-94 Pilot Project currently
offered by Weld County Partners.
As you are aware, the project has proven very successful over the
past eleven months. Eight youth have been involved, all facing
imminent commitment to a residential facility. As of January,
1993 , none of these youth have been committed! We are currently
working with five youth matched in one-to-one Partnerships, and are
processing two youth for future matches.
The original contract calls for Partners to work with a total of
six youth during the contract year. Partners is proposing a
contract extension through June 30, 1993 , and an increase the
number of youth served to a total of ten, with at least nine
matches to be made during the entire contract period.
Enclosed please find a revised budget, budget narrative, and
description of program objectives which reflect these changes.
I hope that we are able to continue this most worthwhile effort!
Thank you for all of your support and help on the project. I would
also like to extend Partners' gratitude to Susan Stein and Omni
Research -- they have been easy to work with and exceptionally
helpful. If I may provide you with additional information, I may
be reached at 351-0700. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,

and train potential Senior Partner volunteers, manage and
support the ongoing caseload for one year, communicate and

POPULATION SERVED
The target population for the pilot phase is nine Weld County
youth, ages 12 to 18, as referred by the Probation Department or
the Court. Targeted youth are:
* assessed by the Probation Supervisor as appropriate for
the Intensive Partnership program as an alternative to
commitment; the assessment includes review of the
following factors: '
arrest history & type of offense;
stability factors (school, work, living situation,
etc) ;
history of alcohol/drug/chemical abuse;
parental control/influence;
willingness of family, youth & probation to
participate in the pilot project.
and
* have completed the Risk/Needs assessment administered by
the Probation Department and have a minimum risk score
of 17 and a minimum needs score of 26 .
Youth selected will be those who may otherwise be committed, but
who may instead best be served by an intensive, collaborative
Project which maintains the youth in the community. The project
is open to both male and female participants, although
approximately 80% of project participants are expected to be male
during the pilot phase. Participants are expected to be
approximately 50% anglo and 50% hispanic. Participation in the
project is voluntary, and youth and guardian must both sign
consent forms.
PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
The overall goal of the project is to prevent commitments to the
Department of Institutions, and to provide a coordinated,
community-based opportunity for youth to fulfill their legal
requirements. Specific objectives for the Project include:
1) Accept 9 appropriate and willing youth in the Pilot
Project;
2) Match 9 youth with screened, trained adult volunteers;
3) Have 66% of youth complete the 12 month Partnership;
4) Provide at least one "high adventure" activity for the
youth, in addition to the normal monthly Partners
activities;
5) Assess each youth involved in the project for additional
counseling needs, and place youth with Weld Mental
Health Center, Island Grove Regional Treatment Center,
or other counseling groups as needed.
6) Overall, the project is targeted to reduce the DYS
population by an ADA of 6 (9 youth x 66% success rate x
12 months) .
