The Youth Out of the Education Mainstream Initiative's mission is to aid communities that pool their resources to create partnerships involving law enforcement, schools, corrections, social services and the business community, writes the release. The university's center will hold four regional public forums this summer to teach representatives from schools, law enforcement, social services and juvenile justice systems how to develop a local program. The sites will be selected through a competitive application process. A juvenile probation officer and social worker work with the youth's parents during the trial period, encouraging them to be more active in their child's education. Another program featured was Boston's Young Graffiti Masters Program.
