Capstone Project Statement of Intent

The goals of my project are:

• Reach out to any at risk kids
• Invite administrators and parents to get involved with their child's life
• Reduce kids from participating in risk factors associated with juvenile delinquency

These goals should be important to us because the kids in school right now are our future and will one day be the ones taking care of us. Their actions affect us more than we think and we don't need any more juveniles in detention. The root of the problem starts at home and early on during childhood.

This fits into my career goals because I wanted to be a counselor for the juveniles in detention.

My project gives back to society in that I want to implement programs in schools.

Teaching, Learning, Sustainable Community Building is the Richland triple bottom line. I believe my Capstone project fits into each of these categories because working with at risk kids always teaches you something or impacts your life as well as the community in some way.
