<br />Agency Roundtable
<br />Boomerang – Served 20 students in alternative to suspension program. An interesting fact is that
<br />80% of the referrals have been females for fighting and they are currently serving more Orange
<br />County Schools students. In after-school program they have served approximately 80 youth.
<br />Just recently started parenting with EENP and they come twice a month with their dogs for
<br />training in the afternoon.
<br />Volunteers for Youth – Currently have served 30 youth in Community Service program. Just did
<br />a large project a couple weekends ago with the Carrboro Police Department. This experience
<br />also provided a positive interaction between law enforcement and youth.
<br />Teen Court is always looking for new worksites, especially in the winter when a lot of the
<br />outdoor sites close down for the winter.
<br />Freedom House – Held 3 Common Sense Parenting courses and graduated 15 people and
<br />currently serving 13 families. They have been actively sought out by several people within the
<br />Orange County School system and will be doing a parent information session on Common Sense
<br />Parenting at Gravelly Hill, one of which will be in Spanish.
<br />Dispute Settlement Center – Restorative Justice Program just successfully closed 3 cases and
<br />have 3 families for Family Table referred by Juvenile Court. The next Family Table session will
<br />begin November 1 and is currently taking referrals.
