Learn what the Wyoming Afterschool Alliance is doing to reduce the School-to-Prison Pipeline through afterschool programs as prevention/early interventions for children and youth. This session offers ideas and strategies to serve our most at-risk children and youth through partnerships with school districts, law enforcement, juvenile justice providers, and judicial systems. This important initiative has been designed to 1) understand the environment and climate of Juvenile Justice in the state of Wyoming through data collection; 2) develop an outreach plan based on data collection and interviews with law enforcement, county attorneys and prosecutors, juvenile defense attorneys, guardians ad litem, and school districts to advocate that afterschool programs should be the first tier intervention and an important system of support; 3) develop a series of youth development professional development trainings based on the Number One response from virtually all sectors, which is the need for understanding of challenging behaviors at various ages and stages of youth development; 4) assist programs in outreach to their local communities to form prevention coalitions and work alongside key partners and; 5) host informational events on the value of afterschool programs as an important partner in decisions that can support at-risk children and youth.
