  Parent Project and Youth Diversion Program

 APD has partnered with AUSD to develop two programs – The Parent Project and Youth Diversion Program –  for strong-willed and difficult youth AND
first-time juvenile offenders. For more information, call “Gateway to Success”
at 626-943-3410. 
 
THE PARENT PROJECT
This community outreach program provides parents of strong-willed and difficult
children the skills necessary for dealing with difficult behavioral issues. The Project
meets weekly and is completely free, but space is limited. Parents interested in
participating in The Parent Project are encouraged to reserve a seat by calling
“Gateway to Success” at 626-943-3410. 
 
Parents enrolled in The Parent Project will learn specific prevention and intervention
strategies and practices for controlling destructive behavior — such as truancy,
alcohol/drug use, gang involvement, acts of violence, and suicide – among other
topics. The Parent Project is also available to parents referred by the court, probation,
and school-district. 
 
YOUTH DIVERSION PROGRAM
This community outreach program provides “first-time” juvenile offenders an
alternative to prosecution for “non-violent and non-narcotic related” offenses
other than the juvenile criminal justice system.    
 
This informal juvenile diversion program would be a “one time only” opportunity for
a first-time juvenile offender to avoid prosecution for a non-violent/non-narcotic
related misdemeanor offense by participating and completing a structured plan
involving mandatory counseling, maintaining acceptable school attendance and
grades, and mandatory active parental participation.  The goal of the program is to
reduce juvenile recidivism rate through a set of structured courses designed to
change behavior and learn new relationship skills requiring both the juvenile offender
and parent(s) to complete.
 
Participants eligible for the program must meet the following criteria: 
• Be an Alhambra resident or enrolled in the Alhambra Unified School District
• Must be under 18 years of age
• Have no prior arrests or arrest record
• Committed a “non-violent/non-narcotic” misdemeanor offense
• Parent(s) must actively participate and complete the entire parenting skills
  program
 
The Alhambra Police Department and the Alhambra Unified School District are
working together through the “Gateway to Success” developing future programs
designed to provide parents and students with additional resources, support and intervention strategies.  
 
If you have any questions concerning either the Youth Diversion Program or
Parent Project, please call “Gateway to Success” at 626-943-3410.
