Dcts4u At-risk Program for Youth Community Outreach (DAP4Youth) Helping Them R.I.S.E!

Support the Cause!

Are You looking to help Youth Stay on Track?

 DCTS (DAP4Youth) is a Community Outreach  Program designed primarily for youth who have shown a tendency toward making bad decisions. These students may be temporarily enrolled in an alternative school or have been expelled or are  on the verge of being expelled  from public  schools. Due to repeated deviant behaviors or because they have committed serious code of conduct violations or criminal infractions. The DAP4Youth Program focuses on alternatives for keeping community kids between 12-17 years old out of the criminal justice system. While participating in the  program youths learn ways to overcome barriers that lead to destructive behaviors. Challenges may include bullying, drugs or alcohol, petty theft and other problems.  Program participants learn conflict resolution and other topics that aim to help rebuild relationships that have been compromised. As a result of destructive behaviors or events.

DAP4Youth Alternative 2 Suspension (A2S)Program

The A2S Program will operate on the same calendar as the Thomasville City and Davidson County School Systems. The program targets youth between 12-17 years old. The goals include:

  • Decision Making
  • Conflict resolution
  • Self-empowerment
  • problem solving or behavior contract
  • alternative programming
  • Counseling
  • Parental involvement  

DAP4Youth  Court  Program is a diversionary program for youthful offenders designed to prevent further involvement in the formal juvenile justice system. Teen court programs involve proceedings where young people are sentenced by their peers, typically in either a school or courthouse setting. DAP4Youth Teen Court  is both a viable diversionary program for first-time and minor offenders. 


The Mission of  the DAP4Youth  Court Program is  to meet the needs of court-involved and at-risk youth by providing necessary services such as cognitive-behavioral interventions, conflict resolution sessions, anger management, anti bulling and counseling.


The Philosophy of  the DAP4Youth  Court Program is based on the fundamental principles  a youthful law violator is less likely to continue to be a repeat offender when a jury of their peers decides the appropriate punishment. It is anticipated that Teen Court will interrupt developing patterns of criminal behavior by promoting feelings of self-esteem, motivation for self-improvement and a healthy attitude toward authority. Teen Court challenges the offenders, as well as the volunteer teens to perform at their highest level of ability.  


After Care Plan, refer the juvenile for on-going support and aftercare to an appropriate community resource as needs are identified.  At a minimum, the program, juvenile, parent(s)/legal guardian(s), juvenile’s Court Counselor, and/or other referring entity must be involved in the development and implementation of this plan prior to the termination of the juvenile from the  Court  Program

How DCTS Define At-risk Youth

An at-risk youth is a child  whom the probability of successfully transitioning to adulthood and achieving economic self-sufficiency is low.  Success can include academic success and job readiness, as well as the ability to be financially independent. It also can refer to the ability to become a positive member of society by avoiding a life of crime.
