RESOLUTION NO. 73-54
WHEREAS, the Board of County Co;,miissioncrs of Indian ::ivcr Coui1._.y,
Florida, herein called the "Applicant", after thorough consi.deracion
of the problem and available data, has hereby determined that the project
described below is in the best interests of the bencral public:
and
The Youth Guidance Volunteer Program is designed for children
who are not yet classified as delinquent but are on the way.
It is hoped that by utilizing the skills of a volunteer on a
one-to-one basis, the child's needs can be met, therefore,
preventing the child from having to go through with official
court action and receiving a court record.
With the use of the Volunteer Program the child's needs can be
met by a Volunteer, diverting the child from the Juvenile Court
and Division of Youth Services personnel, therefore freeing the
Youth Counselor's time to provide more efficient counseling to
those children that need his professional skills.
WHEREAS, under the terms of Public Law 90-351 as amended, the
United States of America has authorized the Law Enforcement Assistance
Administration, through the Florida Governor's Council on Criminal
Justice, to make Federal Grants to assist local governments in the
improvement of criminal justice; and
