The program focused on youth who had been apprehended by the police and referred to juvenile court but who had not yet been judged innocent or guilty by a juvenile court judge. It used college students as nonprofessional service providers who provided 16 to 18 weeks of one-on-one interventions carried out in the youths' natural environments and focusing on the crucial life areas of family, school, and employment. Intervention techniques included developing a good relationship, behavioral contracting, advocacy, and obtaining access to community resources. The program required intense involvement with local juvenile justice institutions and close supervision of the volunteers. Replicating this model requires constructive relationships with the affected agencies, adequate funding, and appropriate training of professionals and volunteers. Tables and 78 references
