Sawyer County Positive Youth Development Program
Sawyer County
10/1/2024-9/30/2025
Funds will be used by Sawyer County to promote positive youth engagement aimed at educating youth on ways to have fun without engaging in delinquent activities. They will coordinate 1:1 support with a dedicated individual from Sirona Recovery who is a social worker or licensed professional counselor. The focus will be around healthy relationships and discussion around life-altering and critical topics related to drugs, alcohol, and social media that tie into making positive choices as alternatives when faced with tough decisions and peer pressure. The project will help improve safety and juvenile competence by identifying at-risk youth in an effort to reduce the number of youth delinquency referrals and formal system involvement within the county.
