I am the program coordinator working to reduce recidivism rates in juvenile delinquents.
My typical work day includes putting together programs that will help youth set goals, make better choices, build self esteem, etc... I supervise youth to assist them in making positive changes in their lives. It may involve me doing home-visits, school visits or the child visiting the office in order to discuss their progress or to help them rise above their failures.
Here's the first step for everyone
Know you why! If you understand why you want to do this job and you are passionate, all else will fall into place.
"That I would not be good at what I do because I have never been through what most of these youth have faced and won't be able to relate to them. They said I was too nice and the kids would run all over me."
