Purpose of the JOLT (Juvenile Offender Life Training) Course
The JOLT (Juvenile Offender Life Training) course is a heavy-interaction, life-enhancement course that serves as an early intervention program for young adults. Its design targets young people who have exhibited a spectrum of life-coping and behavioral issues. The program encompasses a myriad of issues that present an ongoing challenge to youths of our communities. The course also serves as an alternative, which can be used by the Judges in lieu of jail and juvenile detention, as well as aid Juvenile Probation by serving as an order of probation or diversion program. The course may also be taken voluntarily.
Juvenile Offender Life Training Goal
The goal of the JOLT course is to decrease recidivism of first-time offenders as well as to educate, equip, and inform offenders of alternative ways of coping with negative behavior. Furthermore, the course serves as a prevention/diversion tool for those participants who exhibit a need for more structure in their lives. Our objective is to utilize the curriculum's educational and behavioral components to assist participants in examining their behavior, attitude, and actions by instilling discipline and offering behavioral alternatives. Our ultimate goal is to guide participants in the right direction to avoid future adverse situations or incidents with the law.
