Even though school has returned to session, the JusticeWorks Ohio team continues offering Enrichment Days to our youth enrolled in the VIP Program (Violation Initiative Program).

However, I believe there is one thing that you can't let one second go by...

His belief was that working with the 8-21 year-old population would help to prevent them from becoming a part of the correctional system as adults. After graduating, Mike worked as a TSS and mobile therapist for a youth detention center in Steelton, PA. He returned to Reading to work...
