Project Description:
AMI's level 2 programs play an important role in keeping youth from re-offending and entering higher levels in the juvenile justice system. Students, who graduate from the programs, re-enter area schools, enroll in community college after earning a high school diploma through the GED program, enter a vocational training program or obtain a job.
Services Provided/Benefit to State:
Guidance, counseling, education and transition services.
Measurable Outcome Anticipated:
Increased educational levels, increased life management skills, increased employment levels, decreased crime rates and lower recidivism rates for AMI graduates who attend community college or vocational schools and who are employed. AMI follows every student for a minimum of three years. In concert with all the statistics on recidivism that are kept, AMI will keep and measure statistics on the above outcome measures.
