The AmeriCorps participants will then work a larger group of younger at-risk youth to supervise their volunteer activities in environmental restoration work and in restoring safety to public spaces. The project will have the following goals: rehabilitating delinquent youth; creating safer environments in at-risk neighborhoods, providing conflict resolution instruction for a diverse group of delinquent, at-risk, and college attending youth; providing mentoring and pro- social modeling of delinquent and at-risk youth; and engaging youth in productive conservation work on national forests and environmental work in urban areas; creating and nurturing community leadership and service skills; and building a continuing partnership where college students tutor delinquent youth. This project will incorporate youth-as resources programs, restoring safety to public spaces, and youth safety initiatives. 1912 ARIZONA JUVENILE JUSTICE ADVISORY COUNCIL Fife Symington Governor John B. Shadegg Chairman Judith E. Allen August 3, 1993 Vice-Chair Cathryn V. Lore Administrator Dr. Anne Schneider Dean, College of Public Programs Arizona State University Tempe, Arizona 85287-0803 Dear Dr. Schneider: I am pleased to write a letter in support of your proposal to the U.S. Department of Education's Urban Community Service Program which demonstrates a collaboration with the Arizona Department of Youth Treatment & Rehabilitation. I understand that your proposal involves the design and implementation of a prototype multi-purpose community support program and facility for serious juvenile offenders. This is a critically needed component in Arizona's continuum of services for juvenile offenders. Youth who have successfully completed the individualized treatment program within DYTR's secure facility are frequently left without ongoing, intensive, community based treatment. Your success with this proposal will fill this critical need. The partnership with DYTR will provide a myriad of educational opportunities for ASU graduate and undergraduate students as well as faculty. These opportunities include service learning, community service, internships, research apprenticeships, theses and dissertations. The research opportunities are abundant for faculty. This research would benefit the profession, not only in Arizona, but across the nation. I offer support for this project and wish you success. Jashu.

Adams Phoenix, AZ 85007 Dear Anne and John: I am pleased for several reasons to learn that the DYTR/ASU Partnership is seeking funding through the Urban Community Service Program. The Partnership has the potential to provide quality educational opportunities for both delinquent youth and university students. Having received a graduate degree in counseling from ASU, I can attest to the need for such opportunities in the academic community. Having served as Director of the Governor's Task Force on Juvenile Corrections for three and a half years, I can also attest to the need for such opportunities for Arizona's committed youth. The Partnership represents a critical shift in the way Arizona government, especially corrections, has traditionally done business. Corrections has historically been entrenched - operating in secrecy whenever possible. It was this approach that led to serious abuses of youth and a class action lawsuit. It is of tremendous significance that DYTR is actually inviting and encouraging this kind of partnership. The Partnership also represents a recognition of the fact that delinquency is a community problem and that, as a result, the solutions must come from the community. The research has long supported this fact, but policy-makers have been slow indeed to recognize this and respond. For all of these reasons and more, I wish the Partnership success. It could serve as a shining example to other communities that are faced with the same challenges. Please let me know if I can be of assistance in your efforts. Sincerely, - am Christian Jan Christian 4515 N. Dromedary Rd. Phoenix, Arizona 85018 August 4, 1993 Anne Schneider Dean, Public Programs, ASU John R. Arredondo Director, DYTR Dear Dean Schneider and Mr. Arredondo, I have read with interest and growing enthusiasm the materials provided me regarding the DYTR/ASU Partnership, and would like to voice my wholehearted support for your application to the United States Department of Education for an Urban Community Service Program grant. As you know, I have served for the past two years as chairman of the Governor's Task Force on Juvenile Corrections, and have seen first hand the critical need for a continuum of care and rehabilitative services for Arizona's troubled youth. I have also observed the scarcity of staff specifically trained to deal with young people. Although there is a concerted effort to alter this balance, the preponderance of staff would seem to be people long imbued with the adult corrections mindset. The DYTR/ASU Partnership directly addresses both of these concerns. A bridge will be provided to assure that youth with a tenuous hold on the straight and narrow will not be sent directly back to the situation that bred their troubles. The students and interns at ASU will have an opportunity to work with a population that will, for good or ill, be a major factor in Arizona's future. I believe that the blending of public and private resources, the cooperation and colaboration of government staff and university teaching and support staff exemplify the kind of cross disciplinary action that is required if we are to make a dent in the trend toward crime and violence in the community. You have my enthusiastic support for your program and for your grant application. If there is any way in which I can be of service during this process, or to this program, please do not hesitate to call upon me. Alice Sincerely, W Shell Alice W.

In Arizona and across the United States there is a critical need for community-based programs that assist troubled youths in becoming productive members of their communities. The DYTR/ASU Partnership serves not only troubled youths, their families and communities, but also engages the talents of ASU graduates and undergraduates from a number of different fields to become actively involved as interns and researchers. The proposed Urban Community Service Program Grant will provide resources for staff training and technical assistance, and will ensure that the project is evaluated effectively.

Arredondo College of Public Programs Arizona State University Tempe, Arizona 85287-0803 Dear Dean Schneider and Mr. Arredondo, One of the most critical social problems that faces us today is juvenile violence. The rapid escalation of this problem is affecting almost every community in our country. Over the past year and a half, Arizona has attempted to address this problem by instituting innovative and pro- mising treatment and rehabilitation programs to its juvenile corrections system. The task of reaching many of the young offenders who threaten our very way of life has begun and shows promise of success. The institutional changes that have taken place so far, however, are not sufficient. Programs must also be instituted that address the issues of effective transitional programming back to the community and to families of origin. The DYTR/ASU partnership program holds enormous promise in that area. Not only does it bring the vast resources of Arizona' largest University to the arena of juvenile corrections, but it also offers university faculty and students the opportunity to work within the communities that are in need of support. This type of partnership is essential if we are to impact the lives of troubled youth and rebuild the community support systems that are currently so disfunctional. I have been professionally involved in the field of corrections for over 45 years, and am currently employed as a Special Master to United States District Courts on prison and juvenile corrections litigation. The DYTR/ASU partnership program appears to be a constructive way to use limited resources in a positive and responsible manner. - 1 - HUG . AS someone who travels this Country and knows juvenile justice systems nationally probably as well as anyone in the field today I can certainly lend my complete support to the DYTR/Arizona State partnerships application to the Department of Education for grant funds to assist in the continued treatment and rehabilitation of Arizona's troubled youth. The Department of Youth Treatment and Rehabilitation/Arizona State University Partnership is one of the most exciting, innovative and promising developments that I have encountered in many years. The combining of these two governmental entities offers Arizona a real opportunity to impact youth violence and to make a difference in the lives of troubled youth. I am hopeful the United States Department of Education will recognize the great strides already made in Arizona, the promise of the current system and provide additional funds to the Partnership to address the most pressing social issue in America today. If I can respond to additional inquiries I would be most happy to do so. Sincerely, Russ Van Vleet THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF Youth.Dolicy Ira M.

Just a few short years ago Arizona was reeling in the aftermath of a lawsuit challenging conditions of confinement within its state- operated training schools. Currently, The Department of Youth Treatment and Rehabilitation is viewed as probably the most progressive youth corrections system in the Country. The Department of Youth Treatment and Rehabilitation/Arizona State University Partnership is perhaps the best example of the cooperation, leadership and vision which is embodied within the Arizona system. I am very aware of other states that have attempted such partnerships and have failed. Your success within this partnership is not only important to Arizona but, in my opinion, critical to juvenile justice issues nationally. There is no issue more critical to all of us than youth violence. We have become as country afraid of our own children. The escalation of youth violence, and the explosion of youth gangs not only presents an unprecedented challenge to our corrections systems but threaten our very way of life. City of Phoenix OFFICE OF THE POLICE CHIEF August 6, 1993 Ms. Anne Schneider, Dean Public Programs Arizona State University Box 870803 Phoenix, Arizona 85287-0803 Dear Dean Schneider: The purpose of this letter is to acknowledge the support of the Phoenix Police Department regarding the efforts of Arizona State University to acquire a grant for the Urban Community Service Program from the United States Department of Education. The proposal of planned service through the Department of Youth Treatment and Rehabilitation/Arizona State Partnership offers selected troubled youth with focused support and rehabilitation opportunities at a critical period in their development. It has been our experience with juveniles not having adequate role models, mentors, and personal attention that they seek to acquire such association through unconventional means, many of which result in criminal conduct. Through a series of events they are pulled away, expelled or excluded from those positive experiences which are replaced by inappropriate educational and social interactions that lead to personal and community disruption and incarceration. Frequently those who could change their behavior are not given the opportunity to do so because of the limited number of assistance programs addressing educational, family and localized community disadvantages. We support the substantial objectives of this program proposal and strongly urge the consideration of grant funding being provided. DENNIS A.

I am especially sensitive to the need for such a transitional intervention to take place. I have recently called for a task force to address the issue of Violence in the Public Schools. One of the key elements that they have focused on is the failure of Arizona schools and society to provide alternative placement for students who are not successful in living within the confines of the school structure. This proposal would address one aspect of that failure: transition from a treatment facility back to society and school. I believe that equally important in the proposal is the use of graduate and undergraduate students in working with this transition. The reality that they face in working with this group of students will help prepare them for their future in cities, schools and society. You have my full support for a very promising proposal.

AZ 85280 602-350-8225 Dear Dean Schneider: I was very impressed with the presentation and discussion we had on June 22, at the University Club on ASU's campus. I have lived in Tempe for 40 years and come from a construction, rather than a university background. I have seen, over the years, a great number of young men and women fall into the Harry E. Mitchell quicksand/circle trap of under-education and under-employment. Mayor The frustration that comes with low self esteem and low wages leads to a poor family life, with little or no positive Neil G. Giuliano involvement in our community. It is logical that crime is Vice Mayor sometimes seen as the only way out for these youth, who feel they have little or nothing to lose. This is an unpleasant Dennis J. Cahill circle that all too often is passed down within families, as Councilman just "the way life is". It is my own "blue collar" background that made me want to become involved in government, and Don Cassano hopefully help others from this segment of society become more Councilman productive and involved in our community in a positive way. Joseph Lewis I strongly support the program that you propose for a Councilman collaboration between Arizona State University and the Arizona Department of Youth Treatment and Rehabilitation. Education, Frank B. Plencner for both the youth offenders and families, in conjunction with Councilman furthering understanding and education of university students is, I believe, an effective way to break the circle. It is Carol E. Smith only when there is better understanding between the different Councilman segments of our society that growth can occur. A program of this nature would not only help the individuals directly associated, but also the community as a whole. Such a endeavor will act to bring the university community into a closer working relationship with the citizens of Tempe, and the greater valley. AS a businessman and taxpayer, as well as elected official, I am well aware of the economic benefits of education verses further juvenile incarceration and the continuation of the cycle. Again, this interaction will benefit both communities in countless ways, and in the end will be extremely cost effective. Please feel free to call on me to give whatever assistance I can for this project. Sincerely, White Dennis J.

To combat this threat we need to develop creative and aggressive solutions, like the one outlined in this proposal. Sam Capensuith Sam Coppersmith Member of Congress bc: Joel Blumenthal John R.

I understand that the grant, if awarded, would supplement funding provided by the partnership in an effort to provide treatment and rehabilitation to the troubled youth in Arizona. The funds would be used to assist in the transition of troubled youth to the community and to independent and productive living. It is clear that these funds would be used to address the very serious problem of youth violence in our community. I sincerely hope that this grant application is given every consideration by the U.S. Department of Education.

Arizona Department of Youth Treatment and Rehabilitation/Arizona State University Partnership Group History March 26, 1993 D uring the summer of 1992, Arizona Department of Youth Treatment and Rehabilitation (DYTR) Director John R. Arredondo and Deputy Director David Cocoros had initial con- versations with Arizona State University (ASU), College of Public Programs Dean Anne Schneider concerning the creation of a partnership between the two agencies. This partner- ship would endeavor to bring the vast resources of the university together with the realistic experiences of a state agency to develop and administer a residential, transitional facility for youth who have been committed to Arizona's juvenile corrections system. On August 28, 1992, representatives of several AS U departments met with DYTR leadership staff for an initial orientation and briefing. Following that meeting a maller group met on September 24, 1992, to discuss timelines, location and space, the target population, and program design. This group formed several smaller task force groups in the following areas: placement and space issues, fund raising strategies, and campus community involvement. During the intervening months, these groups met and discussed strategies, reporting to the en- tire partnership group at a meeting on December 1, 1992. At this meeting a group of DYTR staff and youth presented the DYTR prototype model for a continuum of care. It is intended that the proposed partnership follow the philosophy of this model, modifying it as appropriate for transi- tion into the community. AS U students and DYTR taff would be involved in the design, re- search, and evaluation of this partnership program. OnJanuary 22, 1993, a group of DYTR staff and youth met with Dean Schneider to develop a purpose statement for the partnership program. The attached document, developed by a commit- tee comprising DYTR staff, DYTR youth and ASU representatives at that meeting, serves as a state- ment of philosophy and purpose for the DYTR/AS U partnership project.

The Community Coordinator position is explained in the Key Personnel section of the proposal. The technical/ clerical person will provide technical, clerical, and grant administration support. DYTR will pay the salaries of 11 full time staff at the multi purpose community-based transitional facility. These salaries are shown as cost share. The Consent Decree specifies one staff person for every eight youth during the daytime shift, one per 12 for other shifts. These cover 24 hours per day, seven days per week; thus we estimate a need for 11 staff the first four month of operation and 12 staff thereafter for the 24 youth in the residential program. Four percent increases in salaries are shown in the second year, and an additional four percent in the third year. Employee Related Expenses DYTR estimates ERE at 31% of salaries and wages. Travel (Local) DYTR policy requires that employees are paid mileage for local travel involved in procuring community resources or travels from one facility to another. We have estimated this at about $900 the first year and $1,200 the second. Materials and Supplies Materials and supplies are based on the experiences at Adobe Mountain School. Indirect The indirect of eight percent is shown at cost share. 03 BUDGET FOR UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAM FY 1996 PROGRAM TOTALS DYTR ITEM FTE # MONTHS AMOUNT GRANT COST PERSONNEL: PROJECT DIRECTOR 0.6 12 $54,080 $32,448 $32,448 COMMUNITY COORD 1 12 32,448 $32,448 32,448 TECHNICAL/CLERICAL 1 12 16,224 $16,224 16,224 STAFF 12 12 308,905 $308,905 308,905 SUB TOTAL $411,657 $390,025 $81,120 $308,905 ERE (31%) 120,908 25,147 95,761 TRAVEL (LOCAL) 1,200 1,200 EQUIP FOR FACILITY MATERIALS & SUPPLIES (ADM): PHONE 1,200 1,200 COPYING 600 600 OFC SUPPLIES 600 600 PRINTING 600 600 BROCHURES 0 0 SUB TOTAL $3,000 $3,000 MATERIALS & SUPPLIES (PRG): PHONE 5,200 5,200 COPYING 2,000 2,000 OFC SUPPLIES 6,000 6,000 MAINT SUPPLIES 5,000 5,000 HOUSEKEEPING SUPPLIES 3,000 3,000 SUB TOTAL $21,200 $21,200 TOTAL DIRECT $536,333 $110,467 $425,866 INDIRECT (8%) 42,907 TOTAL GRANT $536,333 $110,467 $468,772 DOES NOT INCLUDE RENT, UTILITIES, INSURANCE, AND CLOTHING.

This grant would help in addressing the critical issue of youth violence which is prevalent here in the state of Arizona. I believe that the funds put to this effort will be well spent. I have observed the Department of Youth Treatment and Rehabilitation and the Arizona State University over the past couple of years work in a partnership effort to try and secure and provide more rehabilitative and educational services for children committed to the Department of Youth Treatment and Rehabilitation. I believe that the issue of youth crime and violence is one of our highest priorities and something that we must bring under control if this state or any other state is to help us progress into the future. I believe that the goals stated by this partnership are goals that can be achieved, are worth achieving and must be achieved to provide the possibility of a significant future for our youth. It is my understanding that this program will serve youth who have been convicted of serious offenses, who have successfully completed an innovated individualized treatment within & secure facility and are attempting to reintegrate Into their families, communities, school and work as responsible, educated, employable, productive and self reflecting citizens. These youth need community support to be able to achieve these goals. This partnership would help them have access to educational opportunities and also help the Arizona State University graduate and under graduate students in the areas of service learning, community service internships, research apprenticeships, thesis and dissertations. I wholeheartedly support this project and ask that you do go by the awarding of a grant for this purpose. Robil Pima County Juvenile Court Sincerely, Raner C.

COCOROS GOVERNOR DEPUTY DIRECTOR JOHN R. ARREDONDO FRAN GONZALO ASSISTANT DIRECTOR DIRECTOR August 5, 1993 Ms. Anne L. Schneider Mr. John R. Arredondo DYTR/ASU Partnership College of Public Programs Arizona State University Tempe, Arizona 85287-0803 Dear Dean Schneider and Mr. Arredondo: Three years ago, the Department of Youth Treatment and Rehabilitation was separated from the Arizona Department of Corrections in an effort to bring an end to a era of inhumane and ineffective juvenile offender treatment in Arizona. The new department was charged with the legislative mandate of supplying effective treatment and rehabilitative programming in the least restrictive environment to the troubled youth of our State. I have worked for the agency since its inception, and seen its administration and staff struggle with the problems of changing a punitive and counterproductive philosophy into one that successfully helps change the behavior of these disruptive and violent youth. In the past year and a half, programming has been developed and implemented that finally is making a difference. The youth that are committed to this department are receiving the treatment that addresses their issues and helps empower them and make them responsible for their own actions. As these youth reenter their communities, however, there is still an element that is missing. The youth themselves recognize that this element is a transitional support system that can help them effectively practice the skills that they have learned. During these same years, I have been a student in the Public Affairs Doctoral Program at Arizona State University, in addition to my agency duties. As Chief of Volunteer/Intern Services for the past year, I have also been responsible for developing and supervising the agency's intern program. Experience in both my professional and academic life have led me to realize how supportive the vast resources of the university can be to the success of governmental programs and how essential it is for university students to be able to supplement the theoretical education of the classroom with the practical experience of the real world. Over the past year, those of us who believe that the issues of youth crime and violence can be successfully and effectively addressed, especially at the community level, have put many hours into developing a partnership that would bring these diverse governmental agencies together in a partnership program. I believe that the program developed by this partnership is critical to Ms. Anne L. Schneider Mr. John R. Arredondo August 5, 1993 Page 2 achieving not only the successful reentry of our committed youth into the community but also the building of a population of young people whose leadership will be able to develop and maintain empowered and self-supporting urban communities. I am looking forward with great anticipation and excitement to working in this program and believe that the awarding of this Urban Community Service Program grant could be a important key to the expedient and successful implementation of this program. I urge you to support our request.

Over ten years ago, I was first appointed to the Illinois Juvenile Justice Commission by Governor James Thompson and after moving to Arizona six years later, I was appointed first by Governor Rose Mofford and again by Governor Fife Symington to the Arizona Juvenile Justice Advisory Council. I have on those two bodies overseen the awarding of federal monies under the Juvenile Justice Delinquencies Prevention Act. In addition to those responsibilities, I have been appointed to the Task Force of Juvenile Corrections in Arizona, which has responsibilities to assist the state in its transition from a correctional philosophy to a treatment philosophy under the umbrella of a class action law suit alleging constitutional violations of the rights of juveniles held in secured detention in Arizona. The Arizona DYTR/ASU partnership holds the promise of establishing a facility and a program that can attack one of the most serious areas of concern in the juvenile justice system; that is, serious juvenile crime. The program offers the opportunity to take youth who pose serious threats to society and treat and rehabilitate these young people so they can become active, positive, contributing members of society. The program is well founded in social science research and may prove to be a model for programs throughout the country. It is clear to me that programs such as these are worthy of support. I wholeheartedly endorse the goals of the program and lend my support to the effort to obtain a grant providing federal monies in order to make the program become a reality.

Arredondo College of Public Programs Arizona State University Tempe, Arizona 85287-0803 Dear Dean Schneider and Mr. Arredondo: One of the most critical social problems that faces us today is juvenile violence. The rapid escalation of this problem is affecting almost every community in our country. Over the past year-and-a half, Arizona has attempted to address this problem by instituting innovative and promising treatment and rehabilitation programs to its juvenile correction system. The task of reaching many of the young offenders who threaten our very way of life has begun and shows promise of success. For the past two-and-a half years I have worked with DYTR as a member of the Governor's Task Force on Juvenile Corrections. As a member, I have been impressed with the direction the department has taken under the leadership of Mr. Arredondo. Your vision and practical solution applications and your ability to work with all groups related to DYTR has been exemplary. As a high school principal for six years and an educator for nineteen, I have rarely seen the type of positive collaborative effort that the department has undertaken. These efforts are working and the direction of the DYTR are encouraging and exemplary. The institutional changes that have taken place SO far, however, are not sufficient. Programs must also be instituted that address the issues of effective transitional programming back to the community and to families of origin. The DYTA/ASU partnership program holds enormous promise in that area. Not only does it bring the vast resources of Arizona's largest University to the arena of juvenile corrections, but it also offers university faculty and students the opportunity to work within the communities that are in need of support. This type of partnership is essential if we are to impact the lives of troubled youth and rebuild the community support systems that are currently so dysfunctional. I extend my full support to this endeavor and urge you to award this important grant to the partnership.
