goal of the program is to work with youth who are already referred to
with law enforcement to provide interventions that will minimize the
risk of their becoming further involved with crime. “Dukes” is
participation in the amateur boxing, fitness and health education
program. “Dialogue” is working through problems that lead to negative
behavior. The Program began in February 2006 and has carried through to
our C.L.A.

along with these core values our Lifeskills’ coach Renee Lampher guides
the class through subject matter such as: Gangs, Gang violence, Stress,
Rules, Rights, Law, Synergy, Careers, Manners, Consequences & Other
various pertinent topics.
