Programs:

In cooperation with New Jersey County’s District Attorneys, Assistant Public Defenders, Juvenile Court, Public Schools, and the NJ Juvenile Justice Commission, LLSP will provides a critical early intervention for first-time offenders with special learning needs in lieu of costly prosecution. LLSP participants will attend the literacy and life skills-based tutoring and mentoring program once weekly for at least six months under a court-sanctioned mutual postponement. If a youth completes 50 hours in the program, maintains regular school attendance, and incurs no new charges, his/her case will be dismissed. LLSP will serve over 100 youth ages 10-17 in Fiscal Year 2016.
