LDMI-CBC
began working with the Bexar County Adult Probationers Department
, San Antonio Fight Back, Bexar County Opportunities
and Industrialization Center, and the Elite Counseling Center
in October of 1999. Together these organizations form the components
of the Young Offenders Program (YOP).
YOP
conducts three to four camps a year. Each camp is six weeks long.
Our follow-up program requires they report to YOP once a week
for three months after they graduate from the in-residence program.
The completion of YOP is added to a probationer's conditions of
probation. Therefore, if a probationer quits or is eliminated,
he/she has violated their conditions of probation and are subject
to judicial correction. This provides incentive for the probationers
to complete the program. According to the APD, the success rate
of the program stands at an amazing 85%. Discipline and love are
the key ingredients that help these young offenders succeed. Principle
based instruction from the Word of God form the foundation of
the over 390 hours of instruction that they receive. The probationers
are changing their lives because the Word of God is changing the
way they think and therefore the way they behave. (Romans 12:1-2)

type of program please contact the APD first)
