In photo at left, Tom Hamrick poses with a Youth Program Needs Volunteers Melanie McDaniel’s interest in helping troubled youth began several years ago when she enrolled in a psychology course at Cleveland Community Col lege. The wife of Mike McDaniel of Kings Mountain and mother of a 17-year-old daughter, Kristen, she finished at Cleveland Com- munity College and now needs only four hours of credit to receive her degree in human ser- vices from Gardner Webb Col- lege. Four months ago she became the first director of the Youth Assistance Program of Cleveland County and is now looking for volunteers in the Kings Mountain area. The Youth Assistance Pro- gram of Cleveland County, Inc. is a statewide Governor’s one-on- one volunteer program and is a nonprofit organization. A youth ‘between the ages of 7 to 17 years ~- ,is “matched “'with “a ‘carefully’ screened and trained adult volunteer. Goals are to provide one-on-one volunteer service to 25 youth each year who have had some prior contact with juvenile services, juvenile court or refer- red by a law enforcement of- ficer; to improve school perfor- mance and attendance, home relations, and to reduce the severity and frequency of subse- quent court referals and to in- crease community awareness of an involvement in the problems of children served in the Juvenile Justice System. Mrs. McDaniel’s office is located at 215 East Warren Street in Shelby but she can come to Kings Mountain with just a telephone call to interview volunteers or to help a troubled outh. Police Chief Warren forth has offered her office space at the Police Department.

The program depends on help from churches, community organizations, businesses and other caring groups and in- dividuals. The Youth Assistance Pro- gram officially began on April 1, 1988. To get such a program in our community required much preliminary work done by a small group of dedicated and in- terested individuals. Because of the interest these individuals have in the community and its youth, there is a chance for a future for the young person who feels there is no future,” she ex- plained.

Statistics show that an adult working with a juvenile can give aid that no other professional can give. To be a volunteer: complete an application by contacting Mrs. McDaniel at 482-2315 or 482-3144; present four reference letters; take a 60 minute orienta- tion/interview; complete six hours of training which also in- volves screening; and par- ticipate in a 45 minute final inter- view. Volunteers must be thoroughly screened and trained before they meet with their youth, said McDaniel. Mrs. McDaniel is speaking before the local Kiwanis club later this month and is available for programs before other local civic groups. She wants the en- tire community to be aware of the new program and what it can mean in the community to young people.
