determined that the project describbd below is in the best interests

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.
