Two Ohio Northern University faculty members are involved in a project that looks to offer second chances to troubled youths in Paulding County.
The Paulding County Juvenile Court has received two competitive grants totaling more than $193,000 from the Ohio Department of Youth Services.
Professor of Sociology Keith Durkin and Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice Tristin Kilgallon are providing consultation and quality assurance for the implementation of programs that are supported by the grants. The efforts began last August as part of a three-year endeavor.
ONU Kappa Alpha Theta members are encouraging university students to attend a nacho/quesadilla meal Wednesday to raise funds for CASA, the sorority’s national philanthropy.
CASA stands for Court Appointed Special Advocates, a national organization of volunteers that judges appoint to speak for the safety and well being of abused and neglected children.
Children with a CASA volunteer are half as likely to spend time in long-term foster care, defined as more than 3 years in care.
