Clackamas County will use its Fiscal Year 2009 JAG award to enhance services for at-risk youth. The county's goals are to establish a community school-based prevention site to provide coordinated alcohol and drug treatment services, provide educated evidence-based interventions, and gang prevention. The site will provide academic success/dropout prevention services and recreation and diversion alternatives to gang involvement, as well as coordinate with local community prevention organizations and partnerships with school, government, law enforcement, and community volunteers.
