Reports - Early May

Hello Everyone!

Well, here we are... It's early May 2007 and the WV TEEN COURT ASSOCIATION is nearly a year old. There have been lots of community groups that have expressed an interest in getting Teen Court started and I think that we're on track in a few counties across the state.

That said, I need you all to make replies and update your progress to this blog. Please, if you have not done so, send me the most up to date information that you can because I have to report it back to our funder. In addition, we now have a Teen Court Advisory Committee on the state level that is going to help move the group forward. This, in turn, should help create a bridge between Judges, Probation and community groups.

Let me know if you can't blog in and, if not, please send me your report no later than May 10th.

I need to know the following...

How has your Teen Court initiative progressed in the past six months.

Have you collected your partners?

Have you started collecting funds at the county level?

Have you started collecting funds at the local municipality level?

Have you recruited your youth?

Have you started training?

When do you expect to start Teen Court?

What have been your major hurdles in this process?

What could have helped?

What WOULD help from here on out?

What level of support do you need at this time?

What would you like from the state Association?



Best of luck to you all and I expect to hear great things in the months ahead!
