Fund Raising Goals
CRJ's Capitol Campaign 7/1/2002 to 6/30/2003 has targeted the goal of raising $150,000 to benefit the communities of Bennington County through the following:
- Expansion of the Street Checker Program
- Continued Funding of the Martial Arts / Life Skills Program for Girls
- Alcohol and Substance Abuse Prevention Program
- Educational programs for parents to help support their role in the community
CRJ envisions programs that will serve to create alternative education for juveniles at risk, truant, in need of a support system, underachieving and lacking skills. CRJ, through a mentorship program, believes that is will best be able to suit the needs of this populations.
As part of the Alcohol and Substance Abuse Prevention Program, CRJ forsees a comprehensive approach to the issue of prevention. Parents, teens and young adults would work together ion the home and in the community to foster substance abuse awareness and methods of prevention. CRJ would also have tha bility to perform its own drug testing.
To offer these expanded and new programs, administrative staff, particularly qualified case workers, need to be added along with educational materials, travel expenses and technical equipment.
