Weekend Work Project How Does It Work?
The Weekend Work Project (WWP) is the first step in CRP for youth
offenders referred by the Santa Cruz County Probation Department as an
alternative to weekend detentions in Juvenile Hall.
The work crew consists of up to ten youth.
Supervision is provided by two adults: one crew supervisor and an
assistant.
WWP integrates education by communicating the importance of the work
projects to the local environment and community.
Participants gain self-esteem through understanding the value of their
contributions, while developing good work habits and skills.
In addition, the crew supervisor and assistant serve as positive role
models. Project
Goal
The goal of the WWP is to create positive behavior changes in
participants by developing a sense of purpose, accomplishment, and
accountability. CRP achieves this goal by involving the youth in the
completion of public projects that improve the community and that are recognized
by others. CRP
