Document Summary
Its ,000 per year to incarcerate a youth: every year, youcan works with 300 at risk youth, 77% of them are employed or are in school after getting in contact with youcan. Most of the youth that youcan works with have a lot of workers and people in their lives. Youcan wants to be with these people for the long haul. We are gonna watch this youth transform from living in harms way to living in a healthy lifestyle: youcan looks at youth work through stages of change. It was created in the late 70"s and it was created for smoking. Then it went into more addiction things and now it revolves around behavioural issues: youth are monitored to see which stage of change they are in. Hooker is addicted to meth, homeless, dad is dead, moms incarcerated, has a half sister and bro and are complete messes. She is living in harms way and youth workers know about her.
