The 6th Circuit is currently partnering with Piatt County Probation, Piatt Mental Health, Prevent Child Abuse Illinois and area law enforcement to create a new and exciting project called "Reframing Youth". The program will involve a mentoring program aimed at youth who enter the juvenile justice system. Mentoring, job placement and apprenticeship, and community involvement will be components of this project which will hopefully be funded through a grant writing process.
