Problems involved in overall ongoing mainten41nea of a Juvenile Court Volunteer Program. B. Note on Relatio122hip,ofyse_of Volunteexs to Provision of Servkes to Denquent and Pre7Dellasuent Youth - Within Michigan and nationwide, there in ample evidence that use of trained and motivated especially for one.to-onc, matches with target youths, can dramatically improve the positive performance of delinquent and pre-delinquent youth. Use of volunteer: can thus ad a very effective service component to a total javc -7lc court program; but the critic.1_ factor in effective use of volunteers is in the process of seleeiion-t)ajning- supervision of those volunteers. C. Data on,Problem_Dlension- Through a ten-member statewide Planning Committee, Childrea's Charter hasdetermined that twenty counties presently have active juvenile court volunteer programs or some form. In addition, probate-juveniIe courts in 30 additional counties are interested inorganizlng a volunteer program. use #8230 October 20, 1977 Moved by Montante supported by Aaron the rules be suspended for immediate consideration of the resolution.
