ICC: improving community control

The Improving Community Control Project consists of rehabilitative programming of a standard eight (8) week assessment and corrective curriculum.  The youth participant could require more extensive assistance, depending on the services needed and/or the progress of the student. The length of the student’s participation will be regulated by court-order, or by the referral source. Participants in the I.C.C. Project receive school academic and conduct support from the agency's "School/Community Liaison", as well as courses in the following core topics:

a) Conflict Resolution, 

b) Anger Management, 

c) Behavior Modification, 

d) Theft Counseling;

e) Employability Skills. 

This list is not extensive. 

The program also offers empowerment strategies for parents/guardians of participants, by referral, for services to include:

1. employment assessment/training and placement;

2. financial literacy;

3. substance abuse treatment;

4. housing and economic assistance
