This amendment is funded by a grant from Governor's Office for Children, Youth and Families, Division for Children, Amendment No. 4, Subgrantee Agreement #J1-CSG-07-7181-01Y2. The purpose of this amendment is to extend date of grant and increase funding. This amendment is effective from July 1, 2008, to September 30, 2008. All other terms and conditions of this agreement remain in full force and effect.The 2008 Juvenile Probation indirect rate was 38.7% and the grantor capped the allowable indirect rate at 10% cap.

The Justice Involved Youth With Children (JIYWC)/Helping Others with Parenting Education (HOPE) Program offers pregnant and parenting teens the opportunity to participate in parenting and life skills training within each detention facility – Durango and SEF, as well as at community centers. Parenting Case Managers at each location are responsible for recruitment, facilitation of programming (by community partners and/or by the Case Managers themselves) and case management/aftercare services. Baby Camps for young mothers and young fathers are held in the spring and fall, to allow pregnant and parenting teens an opportunity to spend a weekend attending workshops designed to increase parenting skills, self-esteem and life skills – while interacting with their children and peers. Transportation, food and program expenses are provided as part of the program.This grant extension will provide continued funding for three Youth Parenting Case Manager positions, training, and collaboration with partners to provide additional training/participation in Baby Camp for Young Fathers/Mothers. This extension offers three-months time extension and three months (3/12 of prior year funding) for program expenses. It is anticipated that the Governor’s Parents Commission will offer the opportunity to apply for full-year renewal funding prior to September 30, 2008. (C-27-08-008-3-01)
