Mission: Moore Buddies, a multi component organization helps redirect the lives of at-risk youth and those involved in the juvenile justice system. Youth between the ages of 7 & 17 may be served in one or more of our three components of service: Governor's One-On-One Volunteer Program - Matches adult mentors with a youth for one year. According to Deborah J. Daniels, Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Juvenile Justice Programs, "the single greatest factor in helping a child avoid delinquent behavior is a strong, caring relationship with an adult." Guided Growth Program - Gives guidance in identifying problems, goals & service needs. This program incorporates positive role models, community service, recreational and educational group activities. Juvenile Structured Day - Provides structured activities and treatment during a high crime period (3PM - 7PM) for court ordered youth. Includes Parent responsibility classes and behavioral management classes to include anger control, goal setting, decision making, problem solving and peer relationships. Integrates youth tutoring, physical fitness activities, substance abuse classes and community service opportunities.
