All students in each component are eligible to earn vocational certification. Measurable progress is closely monitored. Work experience is offered in dietary services, janitorial services, building and grounds maintenance and special projects such as pheasant raising and greenhouse work. Some youth are also eligible for work in surrounding communities. Youth are paid minimum wage, with a portion of their earnings going toward restitution.
Opportunities exist for campers to work their community service requirements as well.
Referrals should be to the State Court Unit-Central Region.
