A comprehensive opportunity for youth to give back to the community through community service, participate in work to pay restitution to crime victims, develop work habits, and learn higher level technical work skills for future employability. Staff run juvenile work crews in the community. The program has four components:
- Community Service
- Matrix
- Focused Utilization of Employment and Labor IV (FUEL)
- The Fresh Start Market and Coffee Shop
Works with seniors and disabled providing firewood and basic landscaping. Recycling, gardening, litter pickup, and landscaping are the other most common projects.
Matrix
The Matrix program provides both a short term consequence for youth who have violated conditions of supervision, and a long-term opportunity for youth who owe restitution and need a way to work to earn money to compensate crime victims.
Youth are graded on a five point scale for the following six areas: 1) attendance, 2) attitude, 3) work effort 4) peer relations, 5) staff relations, and 6) safety. If a youth does not pass they do not receive any credit and must repeat the day.
The Matrix work crews work on various jobs such as, 24J School District, Salem City Parks, and Marion County Parks. Matrix jobs generally involve hard physical labor in all kinds of weather. These include: cutting firewood which includes running a chainsaw and splitting wood, delivering firewood, paint recycling, paint pick up, vegetation management, ditch clearing, landscaping and lawn maintenance. Other jobs include working in the Juvenile Department gardens and greenhouses, landscaping the Juvenile Department grounds, and litter patrols.
- Short term Matrix: Ordered for one to five days as a consequence for failure to comply with conditions of probation supervision. Labor is unpaid, but youth must earn appropriate point levels to complete the consequence.
- Long-term Matrix: The Juvenile Department holds a value that youth be held accountable to paying restitution to crime victims. Youth are generally given the opportunity to earn the money on their own, but many youth do not have the ability to get work, either because of skill or age, or may owe a substantial amount of restitution. Other youth do not show the initiative to take responsibility for getting restitution paid.
Focused Utilization of Employment and Labor (FUEL)
This component is the vocational training program. Youth are generally older, and looking at employment in the near future. Youth must demonstrate a higher level of self-management to get into the program. The focus is on increasing responsibility, higher level skills, and payment of restitution to crime victims.
FUEL work includes construction, mechanics, metal work and wood working. Each youth receives an extensive exposure to different trades, and can select an area of interest to increase their skills which paves the way into the job market.
The Fresh Start Market
