Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Overseen by the Cape Coral Police Department, the Youth Center provides centralized delivery of comprehensive community based prevention and intervention youth services.  It's programs encourage youth to maximize self esteem, discover their potential and develop healthy lifestyles through social interactin with peers, mentors, role models and the provision of access to supervised, structured leisure activities.  These services are available to all youth in Lee County, but specifically target individuals between 8 and 18 that have come to the attention of law enforcement and the court system.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

As a result of Youth Center operations, we will demonstrate reduced numbers of 1st time offenders, reduced numbers of repeat offenders, reductions in chronic truancy and an increase in the number of youth involved in healthy lifestyle choices.
