In its four and one-half year history, the Guilford County VCJ program (until recently called Volunteers to the Court) has proved that breaking the crime pattern early in an offender’s life is an effective way to reduce crime. The merit of the program is indicated by an 84 percent success rate. There are currently under Janet’s direction 143 active volunteers and 220 active clients. J Volunteers who apply to work in the program are interviewed by Janet. Among other things, they must be willing to take the necessary time to work with youthful offenders. Volunteers are trained by Janet to become aware of skills that can help them in their role as models demonstrating successful ways of living in society. A big oart of the volunteer’s fob is just being a Mend to a client. Clients, ranging in age from 7 to 25, are referred to Janet by court officials. She carefully matches clients and volunteers. Special skills of a certain volunteer might make him or her ideally suited to a certain client Volunteers submit de tailed monthly reports on the progress of their clients. At the end of a successful year in the VCJ program, the judge dismisses the case and the client has no "record.” Judges, probation officers and court counselors in Guilford County are unani mous in tiieir praise of the VCJ program. Janet is a member of the National Council on Crime and Delinquency, a member of the N.C. Association of Volunteer Administrators, and a member of the N.C. Juvenile Correctional Asso ciation. She is on the advisory board of the Ex-Offender Aid program, the advisory board of the Rape Council program, and she serves as secretary treasurer of the Guilford County Professionals for Youth ■ X W ■Mg ~ I 'WL, mm Hazen Ledford Burnsville w -JlsL Mm Bk Janet Crisp Sr. Citizen Phone In New COA Office The Committee on Aging announces installation of the Senior Citizen Phone in the new office on Mitchell Branch Road across from the Health Department.
