Youth Intervention Services (YIS)

A Mentoring Program administered by AFF in cooperation with the Ashland County Department of Job & Family Services and Ashland County Juvenile Court.  The outcomes of the program encompasses these components:

  • Developing positive one on one relationship with a trusted adult mentor
  • Working with behavior issues including reducing truancy
  • Developing positive peer relationships by group activities
  • Programs and educational sessions for parents of adolescents
  • Developing youth assets through programs like community service and involvement in positive, community-based activities
  • Intervention methods specifically aimed at keeping the family unit safely intact

Participants may work through the Power Source book/curriculum/program  to help them identify their strengths and take control over their lives while increasing their understanding of the emotions and beliefs driving their high-risk and offending behavior.
