We are pleased to announce that JusticeWorks was recently awarded an Independent Living Contract by Butler County Children and Youth Services.  Butler County is the 35th Pennsylvania County to join the JusticeWorks team.

We were one of 3 finalists to be brought in for interviews, and we knocked it out of the park.  The management team for CYS and JPO said that our written proposal was excellent, but that Lisa Snyder’s presentation made the decision a very easy one!  They said that our clear expertise and positive outcomes with youth aging out of the system were compelling, and, they were completely sold by Lisa’s passion and commitment to Independent Living.

Thank you to Dipesh, Dawn, Sherry and Lisa Snyder, our Indiana County Program Director, for a great job at writing the proposal and budget, and to Lisa for so convincingly communicating our, whatever it takes approach to IL (and, everything else!).

We have an ambitious timeline to start the project July 1, we are working to locate space, interview candidates and put all of the pieces together.

Congratulations to our JWYC team!
