Boys & Girls Club of Bay Mills Junior Staff Career Development Program

The Bay Mills Indian Community will provide prevention services to 10-15 youth annually (ages 11-18 years) to impact risk factors affecting delinquency. The program's goal is to reduce and prevent substance abuse, unhealthy behavior, and delinquency in youth living on the Bay Mills Reservation in Chippewa County Michigan. The Junior Staff Career Development Program (JSCDP) will be operated as part of the Boys & Girls Club of Bay Mills and will assist young people in acquiring skills and qualities needed to become responsible citizens and leaders. JSCDP's strategy includes adopting a philosophy which identifies within each youth a sense of competence, a sense of usefulness, a sense of belonging, and a sense of power and influence. Performance measures will include those set forth in OJJDP's FY05 TYP solicitation. CA/NCF
