Disconnected from his high school in Hartford and arrested for the first time, Tom (not his real name) was headed down the wrong path. Because he was a minor with no previous criminal record, Tom was assigned to CPA’s Young Offenders program. Since entering Young Offenders, Tom transferred to the Diploma Plus program at the Adult Education School in Hartford where he is able to earn credits toward his high school diploma. Tom is now performing at full potential. He attends class on time, appreciates his teachers and is engaged in learning. He has participated in Anger Management discussion groups, HIV/AIDS and Community Court classes, and has quit smoking. He complies with the nightly 9:00 p.m. curfews, spontaneous drug tests and maintains a job after school. Most importantly to Tom, his family is proud of his accomplishments. He completed an internship tutoring younger students with their homework after school and has continued the program to have a further impact on the children. Tom hopes to use his positive influence to motivate his younger nephews to succeed. *Name has been changed to keep client anonymous |
