The Administration for Children`s Services (ACS) Division of Youth and Family Justice (DYFJ) intends to enter into a demonstration project for an Evening Reporting Center (ERC). The ERC is an innovative approach to providing support and supervision to adjudicated juvenile delinquents who have been placed in ACS’s Close to Home program and who are residing in the community. ACS intends contract with the Jamaica YMCA, located at 89-25 Parsons Boulevard, Jamaica, 11432, for this demonstration project. The ERC model leverages the experiences of the Jamaica YMCA to engage youth and families, as well as evidence-based approaches such as Motivational Interviewing , Stages of Change model and Restorative Practice,to keep adjudicated youth safely in the community and to promote positive outcomes for youth.
