Stephenson County Court Services reported $8,406.07 is available from youth diversion fees for community programs that serve at-risk youth, and that applications must be completed by April 1.
A board member asked whether any applications had been received; staff said none had been filed yet. The board discussed examples of past recipients, including local schools, the Boys & Girls Club, Freeport Art Museum, Ramp and the Children's Hands On Museum.
A staff member summarized the program's intent: "So it's designed for agent nonprofits to apply for funds to run programs for at-risk youth." Board members noted the county now disperses youth diversion funds once per year after incoming amounts decreased, to concentrate awards and give programs meaningful funding.
Ending
Board members encouraged potential applicants to present at a meeting if they wish and noted the program has supported tutoring, arts and other youth-focused efforts in past rounds.
