Resiliency mentoring programthe resiliency mentoring program works with girls and boys, ages 9-17, who are in need of supportive services, at high risk for out-of-home placement, in residential, community-based placement, or returning to the community from residential treatment. In 2002, 180 degrees, inc. Was awarded a continuum of care grant from the department of corrections to implement a gender-specific program for females involved in the juvenile justice system. Our program focused on providing individual and group mentoring that addressed the specific needs of girls. In a one-year period, 80% of the girls who participated in the program did not re-offend, or were discharged from probation. As a result of the success in the first year, we expanded our program to work with males and females outside of the juvenile justice system. Our mentoring program's philosophic premise maintains that connecting youth with a supportive adult and providing a safe place for youth to address their needs and develop skills to be successful in life improve course outcomes. We continue to match girls and boys with individual mentors and provide group mentoring to girls in the community using the girls circle model and the voices curriculum.provides individual and group mentoring to 150 ramsey county youth each year.
