Youth Intervention Services (YIS) is 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.
