Board Chair

As we look back on 2013 we are filled with gratitude for your support and all that has been

accomplished through our work together. Much of that work is presented here with facts and

figures, but each number also represents the story of a youth or family that we have served.

We hope you see the impact of your time, labor and financial commitments in this annual

report. We couldn’t have accomplished what we have without you. With you we look forward

to accomplishing even more in 2014.

Mission

To Ensure the Success of Youth

Values

We strengthen relationships, increase a

youth’s sense of belonging and worth and

help them to develop a sense of mastery by:

Focusing on multiple supportive

relationships with adults and peers

Creating meaningful opportunities for

involvement and membership, and

Providing challenging, engaging

activities and learning experiences in a

safe, nurturing environment.

“I have learned that people struggle with different things

in their lives and talking or venting about issues can

really help someone relieve stress even though you

can't help fix the problem.”

Anthony (not real name) hadn’t even finished elementary school yet and was already headed down a troubled path. About

two years ago he came to the Lakes Area Youth Service Bureau to finish sixth grade because of a school suspension and

to fulfill a mandated community justice program. But that turned out to be one of the best things that happened to

Anthony. Here’s his story….

To complete his court mandates, Anthony was assigned to Matt Howard, the Community Justice Program Manager at the

Lakes Area Youth Service Bureau. Matt has a passion for working with youth and helping them to discover their own

personal strengths rather than using a punitive approach. Anthony’s situation was not new to Matt who has been at

LAYSB for over nine years working with the Community Justice Program. Looking at Anthony and his situation, Matt

saw a young boy who needed some help to prevent him from making more costly mistakes in his young life.

Because of Anthony’s age, he also was required to take three sessions of the Twelve and Under Program at LAYSB.

There he met with Valissa Milanovich, MA, LAMFT, a Youth and Family Counselor who works with the 12 and Under

Program, which combines community justice/diversion with counseling. Through this program, youth learn choice and

consequences skills to assist with making good decisions. Initially, Anthony’s mom was concerned about him

participating in these programs as he traditionally struggled to connect with and open up to new people.

While Anthony was attending the programs at LAYSB, Matt and Valissa had the opportunity to build a relationship with

Anthony and teach him some important life skills in an age appropriate, strength-based approach. After completing these

programs, Anthony’s mom commented that she has never seen him happier. “Matt actually really connected with my son,

interacted with him, and made him feel comfortable… [Valissa] helped him understand that his actions don’t just affect

himself; there is a huge circle that he influences.”

But Anthony didn't stop there. While at LAYSB, he also learned of another program offered called Job Connection. This

program provides youth aged 12-17 with the opportunity to help out an elderly or disabled resident in the community,

while earning money and gaining work experience in the process. Anthony was assigned to help an adult pack and move.

For almost two weeks, his days consisted of going from school to football practice, practice to work, and then work to

home. During this season, he learned responsibility, time management and making sacrifices on a daily basis. Anthony

says he enjoys working and helping people in the community. He also learned the lesson of saving his earned money to

YAB group met with Senator Karin Housley during a tour of the State Capitol.

Youth participated in Camp Old Navy & learned skills needed to work in retail business.

James TrudeauJames Trudeau 37 years ago, Jim Trudeau co-founded what is now today, LAYSB. Jim had vision. He knew what was

needed. He was passionate about helping troubled kids before it was

too late. He had the persistence needed to get the job done and he

maintained a marvelous sense of humor through it all. Jim

was the foundation of the agency. He was also our

cheerleader and our champion. Most of all, he was an

inspiration to the kids we work with and to the staff of

the agency. We are so very grateful to Jim for making

it his life’s work to give troubled kids a chance to

make good in life. Jim knew that kids do stupid things

and they need someone to help and guide them. They

need someone who will listen to them, someone who will

give them a second chance. Jim passed away at the age of 73 on

November 16th, 2013. He leaves behind a loving family, thousands of friends, and multiple

thousands of young people who were given a second chance. His legacy will live on.

“There’s a little hero in everyone.” James Trudeau

Gifts given in his memory:

When youth have healthy relationships, meaningful involvement and relevant learning experiences,

they grow up able to care for themselves, care for others and contribute to the world in a positive

way. LAYSB programs and service integrate these three components:

Healthy relationships within families, with positive adult role models and with peers;

Meaningful involvement within their communities, providing powerful opportunities to learn

about and engage in the world around them;

Relevant learning experiences within their world, of their choosing, and free from judgment..

What We Offer:What We Offer:

and directed community service projects and enrichment activities, the Youth Job Connection, “Get

Hired”, and Youth Volunteer Camp Counselor training. We also offer safe, supervised social events.

the help of Hidden Heroes.

Youth and Family Counseling delivers individual and family therapy, an anger management

program for youth ages 13-15 called REACH, and a Reasoning Skills Program (RSP) for ages 10-17.

Youth Intervention Services follows a restorative justice model that brings together the victim, the

juvenile offender, the offender’s family, and the community to offer restitution, redirection, and support.

Education classes are offered for parents and teens. Special programs include “Our Place” teen

addiction recovery program and weekly support group, Teen Intervene (TI) for teens with mild to

moderate chemical use, and services for teens suspended from school.

Parenting Support and Education is offered
