Statement of the Problem: In concise terminology, describe how the program will address continuum need(s) in the county. What are the Intensive Intervention needs the program intends to address? How will the program effectively serve juveniles at different levels of involvement with juvenile justice? Describe the gap in continuum of services for the population you will serve. The Intensive Community Service (ICS) Program Component addresses a priority for JCPC funding as defined by NC General Statutes GS 1438-549: "Each County Council shall ensure that appropriate intermediate dispositional options are available and shall prioritize funding for dispositional intermediate and community -level sanctions for court adjudicated juveniles under minimum standards adopted by the Department (of Public Safety)". Intermediate dispositional options are available in New Hanover County and the ICS Program has a proven track record of working with high risk youth, as well as organizational capacity to admit youth immediately to meet the youth's court ordered community service and/or restitution by providing opportunities to engage in civic, community and social responsibilities while incorporating a service learning model to reduce recidivism and delinquent behaviors. New Hanover County and the ICS Program provides intermediate dispositional options appropriate to the elevated risk and needs of adjudicated youth in the community. The ICS Program has admitted 100% of referred youth since its inception by utilizing County resources, maintaining current partnerships and growing organizational capacity. What is needed in order to continue current programming to serve youth with the most significantly elevated risk/needs is continued funding of a full time staff member to sufficiently provide services for youth court ordered community service through this alternative to traditional programming and for additional community service hours up to 200 as defined by GS 713-2506-23 such as when a probation violation occurs. The ICS program, due to its low youth to staff ratio allows for the safe provision of Community Service and Restitution programming to gang involved youth and high risk youth who have a history of violent behavior or are reported to be targeted for violence. Intense service planning allows for the consideration of scheduling accommodations for youth served with multiple co-defendants or avoidance of other program participants who may be in rival gangs. The extra staffing for this program allows for 1:1 supervision of youth and the creation of individualized work settings that enable the ICS program assistant to control for factors that may pose a risk to a particular youth (avoidance of public spaces, interaction with other suspected gang members, location of where the offence occurred, avoiding exposure to high risk areas of the community). The median age of youth served in the ICS program to date in 2022/23 is 16 years old, with an average length of stay totaling 190 days, and risk scores averaging 140% higher than youth served through regular CSR programming. The programs educational, vocational, and social skills building are tailored to meet the specific needs of older youth rapidly approaching adulthood. Further, the utilization of case management supports older youth who may already be living independently. 2. Target Population: Describe the target population, including age, and the steps taken to insure that the target population is served. Target population are Level II, delinquent and high risk male and female youth, ages 10-18 that are referred by DPS Juvenile Court Counselors for services. Form structure last revised 12/31/2012 Department of Public Safety DocuSign Envelope ID: 7FB3142F-9353-4801-B8D4-9F45612417A7 SECTION III: COMPONENT SUMMARY NAME OF COMPONENT: Community Service and Restitution, Level II Selected high risk Level I adjudicated juveniles, with a medium risk or a medium needs score that require a Level II disposition, and their parents/guardians, may be referred and accepted as low priority referrals. North Carolina S.L. 2020-83 also "enables greater flexibility to serve juveniles based on their needs level, not solely by a defined disposition level. This legislation has allowed the ICS program to serve youth with a level I disposition who may have significantly elevated risk and needs levels. Youth admitted into the program in fiscal year 2022-23 had risk scores over 140% higher at intake than their assessed peers referred to lower levels of care with a median age of 16. Youth admitted to the ICS program are more likely than their peers to have gang involvement/negative peer associations, school problems, substance use/misuse, and may have been emancipated from their home. Level III juveniles transitioning from a Youth Development Center will also be eligible. 3. Program Goal(s): Provide a brief statement to describe the overall purpose and effect of the program. The overall purpose of the Intensive Community Service program is to serve higher risk youth and to facilitate juveniles completing their required court ordered community service and/or restitution successfully/satisfactorily in a timely manner while teaching, modeling and encouraging civic, community, and social responsibilities to the youth served while incorporating a service learning model to reduce recidivism and prevent delinquent behaviors. The ICS Program offers individualized and intensive service planning to bolster increased skill development in a safe community setting while youth complete their court ordered community service obligations. Each youth is actively engaged in their own aftercare planning process, along with referral agencies, parents, and worksites to ensure the tailored plan best meets the risks, needs and available protective factors for that youth. ICS youth and families are provided access to free Case Management services facilitated by NHC CJS, aimed at meeting the entire family's needs through a holistic approach to promoting self sufficiency. Some consistent areas of focus for Case Management services are housing, healthcare access, employment assistance, coordination with school personnel, and general linkage to available community resources. Case managers advocate for the youth/ family and receive referrals from community programs and directly from DJJ court counselors. A Spanish speaking case manger is available to support youth/families who may experience a language barrier. ICS youth are also afforded the opportunity to participate in an 8 week Job Skills Development (JSD) component designed to prepare youth with soft skills necessary to enter the workforce. The JSD component is offered through a formal partnership with Cape Fear Community College (CFCC) and is held on the downtown campus. Youth participate in campus tours and attend consultation sessions with financial aid and admissions counselors. The ICS Program is constantly evolving to meet the shifting needs of youth and families throughout NHC by implementing technology, acquiring new worksites, and applying feedback from community partners to adapt service delivery in an effort to maximize impact for youth. Youth have completed over 300 hours of community service this fiscal year, with 11 youth participating in job skill development and 4 youth/families admitted to the case management program. 4. Measurable Objective(s): State in measurable terms (%) the intended effect of the program on specific Form structure last revised 12/31/2012 Department of Public Safety DocuSign Envelope ID: 7FB3142F-9353-4801-B8D4-9F45612417A7 SECTION III: COMPONENT SUMMARY NAME OF COMPONENT: I Community Service and Restitution, Level II undisciplined and/or delinquent behaviors. Example: anticipated reductions in court referrals, runaway behavior, disruptive behavior at school, anticipated improved school attendance and academic achievement. These objectives must include impact on participants. 70% Clients will complete restitution or community service within the timeframe permitted by JCPC policy. 70% Clients will have no new adjudications for a complaint with an offense date after the admission date. 70% Clients will successfully or satisfactorily complete services as intended by the program design/service plan. 70% Clients will demonstrate accountability by actively participating in restitution/community service activities. 70% Clients successfully/satisfactorily completing the program will have no new complaints in the 12 months following completion. 70% Clients successfully/satisfactorily completing the program will have no new adjudications in the 12 months following completion. 70% Clients will have no new complaints with an offense date after the admission date. 5. Elevated Risks and Needs: Describe how program services will address one or more of the elevated risk and needs listed in the most recent Intensive Intervention services Request for Proposals. Be sure to identify the specific risk and/or needs item(s) you will address. New Hanover County (NHC) served 29 youth with Level II dispositional sanctions in FY 21-22. Youth admitted to the ICS program had average risk scores 140% higher than their assessed peers referred to lower levels of programming. Since inception in 2011, the program has served 351 high risk youth with elevated needs, throughout New Hanover County. The program has a proven track record of overcoming barriers to service for families, as 100% of youth referred to the program have been successfully admitted. In NHC 70% of youth assessed have medium to high risk levels, and 23% of assessed youth have previous weapons offenses. 94% of youth indicated a lack of positive peer interaction and 48% reported alcohol/drug use disrupted their daily functioning. As an immediate alternative disposition for Level II juvenile offenders who violate probation and high risk level I youth who would benefit from intensive intervention, the court counselor is able to assign additional community service hours for the youth via court order versus being placed in secure custody. This alternative saves the county and state funds otherwise spent on housing these juveniles. The New Hanover County Juvenile Crime Prevention Council has listed the following as elevated Risk and Needs of adjudicated juveniles per the most recent local JCPC Request for Proposal: Association with other delinquent peers involved with gangs; moderate to serious behavioral problems at school; prior assaultive behavior; involvement in alcohol and substance abuse; prior referrals to juvenile court; referral to juvenile court prior to age 12 and inadequate supervision by parents/guardians. ICS addresses the identified risk and needs across the peer, individual, family and school domains by providing priority referrals to NHC funded case management services and facilitating youth learning civic, community and social responsibility via individual mentoring and skill development in an effort to model prosocial behavior, promote responsibility/accountability and increase the youth's capacity to interact with the community in a positive way. Upon termination from the program, youth/guardian and referral sources are provided an aftercare plan outlining Form structure last revised 12/31/2012 Department of Public Safety DocuSign Envelope ID: 7FB3142F-9353-4801-B8D4-9F45612417A7 SECTION III: COMPONENT SUMMARY NAME OF COMPONENT: I Community Service and Restitution, Level II recommendations for participation in outside agency programming, school participation, community/vocational involvement, etc. The ICS program assistant initiates contact with outside agencies/worksites to promote participation in aftercare recommendations when requested by guardians.

Administrative offices are located at 320 Chestnut Street Suite 518, Wilmington NC, 28401. Additionally, there are over 30 established Community Justice Services approved community service worksites located throughout the community where youth are placed to earn their hours. The large variety of worksites and community partners allows the ICS Program to individualize the placement youth based on their specific skill set and minimizes transportation barriers. NHC CJS has a formal partnership with Cape Fear Community College (CFCC) which provides youth with access to a wide array of CFCC resources, including weekly Job Skill Development modules facilitated at the downtown campus. CFCC provides a monthly campus tour for program youth, quarterly FAFSA/admission open houses, and has established an email portal for all YES inquiries. The program also has a mobile jobs lab, designed to promote accessibility and provide opportunity to youth with transportation barriers and other service impediments. Lab services were implemented during the beginning of Covid-19 and have continued evolving in the past two years to overcome access barriers for youth/families. The mobile lab is administered in community centers, public housing facilities, partner worksites and NHC buildings. This lab empowers youth with soft skills necessary to enter the local job market and provide immersion into the rapid shift of employment resources onto electronic platforms. The program provides youth experiencing transportation barriers with bus tickets and works to recruit/retain accessible worksites in communities where participants reside. 2. Operation: Describe the daily/weekly schedule of program operation.

For the ICS Component, the CSR Coordinator is responsible for determining the type of termination. The youth is terminated successfully and/or satisfactorily upon completing their court obligated service in a timely fashion within the parameters of their probation. The youth is terminated unsuccessfully if the youth does not complete the required community service hours as court ordered. The youth is terminated noncompliant if the youth refuses to comply and does not attend the intake or complete any court ordered community service hours. Upon completion of their service, youth are administered a post ethics questionnaire, youth and/or parent complete a Customer Service Survey, youth receive a Certificate of Completion and Termination Summary. Prior to termination the ICS Program Assistant develops an individualized aftercare plan based on interactions and consultations with the juvenile, guardian and court counselor. Aftercare plans make specific recommendations for youth in three separate categories: community, education, recreation and build upon the youth service experience and robust community partners. A comprehensive list of termination procedures (including mandated timelines for completion) is contained within the ICS Program Manual. How are the Juvenile Court Counselor and/or other juvenile justice staff involved in the termination process? For the ICS Component, the DPS Court Counselor is informed on an ongoing basis regarding the youth's progress or lack thereof through oral and written communication via email and voicemail messages, and individual progress notes and 30 day progress reports. ICS staff also provides court counselors with mid month progress reports, notification of a no show within 24 hours, monthly activity calendars, and notification of any changes in the youth's status at school or at home in order to fully collaborate regarding the progress of the youth. Prior to termination, ICS staff communicates with the youth's court counselor to obtain information regarding the youth's progress with juvenile court and school, positive parental involvement and participation in other services. The final status of the youth is provided to the court counselor when the youth's service terminates via a Termination Summary. The Court Counselor is also consulted for input in developing an aftercare plan for the youth. 7.

All ICS youth and families are made aware of free case management services offered by CJS during intake and a case manager is on site during court proceedings to provide consultation and admission. Case management receives referrals from the ICS program and from DPS Court Counselors and frequently collaborate to ensure basic needs of youth and family are being met. 8. Intervention/Treatment: Describe specifically: What will the component do to address intensive intervention continuum needs and/or redirect inappropriate youth behavior? How will the component address the identified needs of the youth and family? What interventions will typically be utilized in this component? How will parents/guardians be involved? What is the therapeutic element within the service? The ICS Program utilizes the following as interventions to facilitate the youth learning civic and social responsibilities along with age appropriate job skill development: Youth and parent participate in a one hour intake conducted by CSR staff where an individual service plan is completed and on the job expectations are explained as well as appropriate/ acceptable behaviors and child labor laws, safety rules and regulations. Youth attend trainings that include onsite demonstrations of proper work techniques and job skills provided by the agency staff and/or worksite supervisor. Strategies such as utilization of one on one and small work groups allows staff to emphasize mentoring youth on meaningful, prosocial community involvement and useful skill development. Program staff have frequent contact with parents/guardians via reminder calls, providing updates regarding the CSR activity calendar, following up with unexcused absences/behavioral issues, and mailing out of compliance letters when needed. Youth with specific needs/ concerns such as, significant behavioral health issues or unique geographical situations, a specific worksite may be developed to help meet the youth's individual needs. Case Management services, provided by CJS, are offered to address issues spanning the entire family to ensure basic needs are being met and unaddressed issues or resource deficiencies within the household are met with available community resources. Inappropriate behaviors/issues that are displayed by youth are handled via individual mentoring, redirection into a new activity or project, and collaboration with parents/guardians and court counselors regarding positive strategies that can be utilized to replace negative behaviors. Upon completion of their requirements, youth complete a customer satisfaction survey. The Program has a manualized protocol for service delivery as summarized: - Intake/orientation procedures are described in detail from the point of the program receiving a referral from a DPS Court Counselor and includes detailed timelines related to correspondence with court staff. Information is gathered from both the youth and guardian to ensure service planning is individualized. The number of service hours/sessions is court ordered. - All worksite placement procedures are detailed and include the method of selecting an individualized placement for the youth that takes into account their specific skill level, interests, compatibility and any transportation needs. All worksite projects are planned in advance and include an activity/lesson plan that contains a detailed work plan and list of objectives related to the activity. - Termination procedures are detailed and include specific instructions related to communication with the youth's court counselor and guardian regarding their termination status and after care planning recommendations. 9. Best Practice Model: Describe what evidence based/support model(s) or practice the program will use. Form structure last revised 12/31/2012 Department of Public Safety DocuSign Envelope ID: 7FB3142F-9353-4801-B8D4-9F45612417A7 SECTION IV: COMPONENT NARRATIVE (attach for each component) NAME OF COMPONENT: I Community Service and Restitution, Level II While the OJJ Model Programs Guide does not contain a CSR model program, the ICS Program Component is based on the evidence-supported/best practice model the "balanced approach" to juvenile probation that was introduced by Dennis Maloney, Dennis Romig, and Troy Armstrong. Beginning with recognition of three goals of juvenile corrections, this approach requires that probation services incorporate a balance among: 1. Protecting public safety by effectively monitoring the behavior of juvenile offenders; 2. Holding offenders accountable for their offenses and to their victims; and 3. Facilitating the youth's competency development via rehabilitative and skill building services. Because of its emphasis on atonement, restitution is often an important part of restorative justice models. Community service, like restitution, involves the offender giving something back to the community at large rather than directly to the victim. Both restitution and community service have potential to promote offender accountability to the community or to victims. The best of these activities have desirable competency development benefits to the offenders by poviding meaningful, prosocial community involvement and useful skill development. A review of research suggests that restitution can reduce recidivism to some extent (Lipsey; Schneider). Our program incorporates best practices according to cited research to facilitate the youth completing their court ordered obligations successfully while teaching, modeling and encouraging civic, community and social responsibilities while incorporating a service learning model to the youth we serve. ICS Program's standardized protocol for effectiveness for all accepted referrals is tracking data via NC ALLIES and recidivism data collected every 6 months. All data related to the evaluation of program effectiveness is maintained either online via NC ALLIES or with recidivism data, a hard copy of the information is kept. Customer satisfaction surveys are also utilized. The CSR coordinator conducts both scheduled and random worksite reviews to ensure adherence to the CSR model of service delivery. Any deviations detected in service delivery are reported to the Program Manager and a written plan of correction is developed.

The funding has traditionally been utilized to provide services to youth on Level II probation who receive up to 200 hours of community service as an intermediate dispositionat alternative sanction to secure custody. S.L. 2020-83 provided greater flexibility for programs to "serve juveniles based on their needs level, not solely by a defined disposition level" which has allowed for youth with the most significantly elevated criminogenic risk levels to be served by this specialized program. Recent trends in juvenile justice ranging from youth access to illegal firearms, gang association, and patterns of violent/aggressive behavior underscore the need for a specialized program to serve our community's most at risk youth facing potential out of home placement. Since its inception, the program has served 346 youth and through the first 7 months of this fiscal year (July 1, 2022 - February 5, 2023), a total of 22 youth has been served. Currently, Intensive Community Service program component has successfully admitted 100 percent of youth referred by court counselors this fiscal year. The successful admission rate is a testament to the program's established track record of serving high risk youth who are facing potential out of home placement, in their community, through collaboration with an array of local partners. The Intensive Community Service program assistant position is critical to ensuring the needs of our community's youth with the greatest risk and need levels are met. Referred youth often present with an array of risk factors, including gang involvement, substance use issues, decreased school participation, mental health needs, safety concerns, etc_ The average risk score of youth served by the intensive Program this fiscal year is over 140% higher than youth served in the existing restitution component. For each admitted youth, the program assistant develops a detailed individualized service plan, accounting for specific service impediments ranging from limited transportation options, work/school schedules, safety concerns, etc. while also building upon youth interests, strengths, age, ability and needs. Program goals are focused on equipping successful participants with improved interpersonal communication, time management skills, basic skills necessary to enter the local job market and an immersion in community based protective factors. The program assistant contacts the youth/family, at a minimum, once a week to review youth progress and consult regarding any issues or concerns that may arise. The level H assistant attends juvenile court weekly and meets with referred families following disposition to ensure services are accessed immediately. Every family served by the program is given an overview of available case management services at intake and a case manager is on site the day of court to conduct an initial assessment for the youth/guardian if warranted. The case management team serves the entire household though a holistic wrap-around model to address a host of issues ranging from food insecurity, homelessness and inadequate housing, access to basic needs, healthcare, school attendance, etc. This program is free of charge and accessible at any time for all individuals in the household. The Intensive Community Service program operates in conjunction with over 30 worksite partners throughout the community, including a collaborative component with Cape Fear Community College {CFCC) focused on job skill development and providing youth with access to numerous CFCC programs, including admissions counseling, DocuSign Envelope ID: 7FB3142F-9353-4801-B8D4-9F45612417A7 campus tours, financial aid resources, adult high school/GED programs, and free vocational certificate offerings. The Intensive Program also leverages existing NHC resources through partnerships with the local Library system, Elements Youth Violence Prevention, NHC Parks, and has taken advantage of public wi-fi expansion to utilize a mobile jobs lab at locations throughout the county.

Described below are the terms and conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through the DocuSign, Inc. (DocuSign) electronic signing system. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to these terms and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the a€ -I agreed€TM button at the bottom of this document. Getting paper copies At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available electronically to you by us. You will have the ability to download and print documents we send to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after signing session and, if you elect to create a DocuSign signer account, you may access them for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per -page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below. Withdrawing your consent If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures electronically is described below. Consequences of changing your mind If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format, and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must withdraw your consent using the DocuSign K -Withdraw Consentd€TM form on the signing page of a DocuSign envelope instead of signing it. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your consent to receive required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer be able to use the DocuSign system to receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents from us. All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide electronically to you through the DocuSign system all required notices, disclosures, authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures electronically from us.
