Day Reporting Center
The Day Reporting Center is a program funded by the Illinois Department of Human Services to intervene in the delinquent behaviors of young people who are on probation with the local Juvenile Court.
The program provides daily support, tutoring, career exploration, job skill development, recreation, and counseling and case management. The program is directed at assisting young offenders to break patterns of delinquent behavior and to replace them with life competencies.
All participants may be male or female, 12 to 17 years of age, and are court ordered to attend the programs. Open enrollment allows participants to join at any time.
The typical programs runs 26 weeks, from 3:30 PM TO 7:30 PM Monday through Friday and is in session during ordinary school breaks for the holidays and during the summer.
Referrals may be made from the probation office directly to the Day Reporting Center Program Director.
YSB Receives Grant from the Kraft Employee Fund for the Day Reporting Center
The Youth Service Bureau has received a grant in the amount of $12,495 from the Kraft Employee Fund of Chicago, a workplace-giving program supported by contributions from Kraft employees across the Chicago area.
The grant money will be used to provide specific services to court involved youth attending the after school Day Reporting Center program . Last year Kraft provided a grant that allowed the clients to participate in weekly equine assisted skill development sessions at the Light Center Foundation in Union, Illinois.
This year’s grant provides the funding for continued participation in this meaningful activity and in addition, provides funds to include the addition of bi-monthly therapeutic recreation in collaboration with the Northern Illinois Special Recreation Association and a weekly “Young Men’s Group”, led by a specialist in the field, that will address teen parenting and related issues and education and information directed towards the identification, understanding and development of positive and safe relationships with others.
The Youth Service Bureau would like to thank the Kraft employees for their generosity and continued support of programming in our after school Day Reporting Center. Their investment in the youth of McHenry County allows us to provide services that will greatly increase the likelihood that the young people we serve will meet with success in the future.
