serves a minimum of 100 children per year at two local school sites. Structured activities permit parents to participate with their children with the goal of strengthening family relationships. This program offers families an eight-week intensive series of services. Once the program is completed, families continue to participate in FASTWORKS, a two-year follow-up program. Mothers And Sons targets boys ages 10 to 14 who have no male role model living in the home. Through positive relationships with male staff members, and regular support group meetings for their mothers, the program seeks to prevent these youth from becoming involved in the juvenile justice system. Youth in Progress , which operates through a subcontract with L.A. County Probation, serves youth who have already become involved in the juvenile justice system. This program component offers participants significant positive alternatives to delinquent behavior. Regular home visits, weekly tutoring, and field trips are combined with an intensive weekly curriculum that, over a span of six months, addresses such topics as communication, coping with stress, and life skills.
