As the Juvenile Civil Citation Program Coordinator we utilized the Grateful Ring program curriculum that was offered for our first time offenders- practical tools for real life success. This proactive character education program helped our first time offenders build character, develop leadership and offered ways to creative a positive community. After the six one hour sessions, the Civil Citation kids reported the skills were so important that they could not understand why they were not already taught in traditional education. After the program, they reported a better understanding of managing their emotions and thoughts and were quite enthusiastic how they were going to change their lives in the future. One offender was able to connect with his parents and share a plan that he created to living out a new vision within his life. Another one of the offenders not only learned the power of meditation but began to teach his family and friends the power of meditation. The teens reported learning skills and tools to manage anger, guilt and social pressures to conform that will help them to forgive themselves, make better choices to ensure not reoffending and understand how the brain works to form a vision, foundation and be a role model for good. Even myself as a 28 year Law Enforcement Officer attended the program and learned new skills to live a better life. As we know, all behaviors begin with the thoughts we form each day. Teaching our Civil Citation kids how to take control of their thoughts and emotions is one of the most important solutions to building a better community.
Thanks so much for your consideration and hope we will partner in the near future so we can give kids a better life and be crime free.
Sincerely,
Cpl. Patti Holt
