Due to the hurricane, orientation for our Medical Information Technician training has been rescheduled for Friday, November 2 at 10am. Class schedule will continue as normal the following Monday.
STRIVE’s Out-Of-School Youth GED/Medical Information Technician Training Program is an intensive program that will cover the topics you need to get a livable wage job in the health field. For those without a HS diploma or GED, GED classes will be provided prior to training. You must complete (or have completed) our CORE Attitudinal workshop in order to qualify for a place in our GED/Medical Information Technician Training Program. Those that already have their HS diploma or GED will go straight into the hard skills training after CORE.

Context and Lessons for Serving Juvenile Offenders
On Thursday, September 20th, STRIVE is hosting a panel discussion with leading experts to inform STRIVE leaders from across the country on the issues facing juvenile offenders and best practices in serving them.
The panel is kicking off our newest initiative “STRIVE for the Future.” In the summer of 2012, STRIVE was awarded a 3-year, $5 million grant by the US Department of Labor to serve juvenile offenders in high-risk communities across the country. This program, “STRIVE for the Future,” will provide services for youth ages 14 and older who have been involved with the juvenile justice system in the previous 12 months, in order to prevent them from becoming involved in the adult system. STRIVE will serve 400 juvenile offenders nationwide through this grant.
Our panel on “Context and Lessons for Serving Juvenile Offenders” will allow a group of distinguished experts to ground our affiliate leaders with a larger picture of this important need, trends in the field, and best practices in serving this population.
Our four panelists are:
Jeremy Travis, President, John Jay College of Criminal Justice
David Jones, President & CEO, Community Service Society
Howard Knoll, Senior Director, Casey Family Programs
Lorenzo Harrison, Senior Executive, US Department of Labor
We invite you to follow along with the discussion on Twitter from 10AM to 12PM EDT on September 20th. Follow @STRIVENational and #JuvenileJustice to learn more.
