Amanda Farris motioned for minutes to be <br /> approved and was seconded by Meg McGurk. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> Agency Roundtable <br /> Wrenn House—To date they have served 2 youth for a total of 64 days. They are doing a big push this <br /> year around runaway prevention and letting youth know that Wrenn House is available as a resource. <br /> Freedom House—Common Sense Parenting classes continue with one being offered in Chapel Hill <br /> and one in Cedar Grove. FAN is having some challenges filling the advocate position; finding <br /> someone with personal experience navigating the system and that is also a native Spanish speaker. <br /> They are hopeful that the resume they just received may be a good fit. The Child and Adolescent <br /> program has a couple youth who are using the funds. <br /> Ligro Doio—They haven't received any referrals yet,but that isn't totally uncommon in the first <br /> quarter. They had a couple carry over students and have terminated some that have continued on as <br /> non-JCPC students. <br /> Volunteers for Youth—So far this fiscal year they have served 38 kids in community service and 19 in <br /> Teen Court. A girl in the community service program went to her worksite with not so great an <br /> attitude, but turned it around so well that they are now offering her a paid internship this summer. Her <br /> mom was so excited to hear that her daughter had such a great attitude because she knew she did, but <br /> hadn't seen it in such a long time. <br /> Boomerang—Alternative to Suspension has served 9 youth year to date—7 from CHCCS and 2 OCS. <br /> There have been more referrals than that but transportation has been an issue from Orange High. <br /> Fighting continues to be one of the highest reasons for fighting. This year Boomerang is working on <br /> partnering with the schools to provide in-school support to youth, combining their models with the <br /> schools' programming. <br /> DJJData—August: 6 distinct juvenile, 8 complaints, 2 approved for court, 2 juveniles diverted, 0 <br /> juveniles admitted to detention, 1 juvenile admitted to Wrenn House for 5 days, 0 electronic <br /> monitoring activations, 0 days on electronic monitoring, and 0 juveniles committed to YDC. <br />
