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 /> Ligo DoLo — 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 /> non4CPC students . <br /> Volunteers ° or 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 .
