The Department of Youth Services seeks to accomplish this mission through three different programs. The Director of Youth Services serves as the Chaplain Coordinator for all of the San Diego County Probation Department's adult and juvenile correctional institutions with direct responsibility for the recruitment, training, and supervision of the religious programs and volunteers. The Department of Youth Services also sponsors three eleven day mountaineering trips for 15-17 year old young men from one of the San Diego County Probation Department's juvenile correctional institutions. Such trips include such activities as backpacking, rock climbing, and rappelling. The Department of Youth Services also provides a mentorship program for adolescent young men who have been determined to be at risk by family, church, school or law enforcement agency.
Special attention is given to young men with known gang affiliations.
