[Prevscilist] LCYS Spring 2018 Intern Applications

[Prevention Science Program]

Please share the following with your students:

Greetings,

Lane County Youth Services (YS) is now accepting applications for Spring 2018 interns.

The YS mission is to reduce juvenile crime through coordinated prevention and intervention programs that hold justice-involved youth appropriately accountable; provide restorative, rehabilitative and treatment services for youth and their families using evidence based best practices and data driven decision making; promote healthy family interactions; prevent, reduce, and resolve family conflict; protect victims’ rights during all phases of Court proceedings; and safeguard our communities.

YS provides assessment, probation, training, counseling, and detention services for all youth, ages 12-17 years old, referred by local law enforcement because of criminal behavior. It is the branch of Lane County government responsible for services to youth accused of law violations or judged delinquent by the juvenile court.

In order to assist students with selecting their preferences, I’ve included brief descriptions of our units:

Detention/Phoenix: Interns will work at least one full shift a week.  All interns will receive training and orientation in the goals, philosophy, and safety and security of Detention and Phoenix and will be overseen by Group Workers. Specific duties may include: training in professionalism, shift change fundamentals, management of check-out items, control room coverage and traffic movement, supervision of activities, wake-up procedures, transition and bedtime routines, room searches, skill group participation, meal time supervision, applications of the level systems, check-ins with youth, intake procedures and paperwork, and court release procedures and paperwork.

MLK Education Center and Secure Classrooms: Interns will have the opportunity to learn about the breadth and scope of services provided to youth involved with Youth Services while working as tutors and aides to full-time staff in Youth Services’ academic and vocational programming.

Mediation and Restorative Services (M&RS): The domestic relations mediation internship is designed for graduate students interested in the field of family mediation with a focus on obtaining practical skills, observations, and co-mediation experience in family mediation. Interns gain experience co-mediating domestic relations cases with professional mediators, writing parenting plan agreements, providing supervised parenting time services, co-teaching the parent education class, and completing other duties as assigned. Interns will commit to a minimum of six credit hours per term, unless otherwise approved by the supervisor.

Prerequisites:

  *   CRES Mediation Skills class (including certificate of completion for 30-hour Basic Mediation training)
  *   CRES Family Mediation class (including certificate of completion for 40-hour Domestic Relations Custody and Parenting Time training)

Supervision/Case Management: Following a period of orientation and training, the intern may conduct casework interviews with clients and their families in order to evaluate and address individual and family problems, may supervise compliance with Formal Accountability Agreements, Case Plans, or Diversion Agreements, may have contact with community professionals working with the youth and family, may prepare written reports and maintain necessary records, and may participate in court hearings after substantial training and exposure.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Thank you.
