Yotyf? service agency designs
programs to help delinquents
ASUN...
By Andy Riggs
The Youth Service System (YSS) of Lincoln
and Lancaster County has grown noticeably,
but some work needs to be done to develop the
system more, according to Delbert Elliot,
director of behavioral research and evaluation.
"The program philosophy we would like to
have is that there are no overlapping services.
We would like to see the youth agencies of
Lincoln work together instead of competing
against each other," he said.
The YSS developed out of the Juvenile
Justice System to divert youth out of the
courts and into integrated, comprehensive,
community-based programs designed to meet
the needs of youth.
The police and courts are responding well to
the program as the number of juveniles referred
to YSS has increased from 10 to 100 in a year's
time, he said.
The YSS staff have five full-time members
and seven part-time field placement students
from UNL and Nebraska Wesleyan University.
The staff will increase when six VISTA
volunteers start in October and four more start
in January to help coordinate the juvenile
referrals with other community agencies.
According to James Arnot, director of YSS,
the future of the program in Lincoln and
Lancaster County is looking up.
"Elliot evaluated our program last year and
recommended that we become a separate
organization as we were affiliated with YMCA.
This was accomplished Aug. 1," he said.
The YSS operating funds presently come
from the Department of Health, Education and
Welfare, the Law Enforcement Assistance
Assoc. and the Nebraska Drug Commission.
This year's budget is $36,540.
Arnot said the YSS board of directors will ask
for a budget of more than $85,000 for 1974.
Elliot said a big problem is "selling the other
agencies on a comprehensive system. They
don't realize how much it would help."
He also recommended that a youth survey in
the community be taken to find out what the
"kids think they need," and to find out what
services are needed for them.

"CSL decided that this year it would be easier to get eight
names rather, than 10 with the understanding that in future
years we would ask for 10," Freudenburg said.

That's a pretty broad statement. How about
something with more than just calories? Or
something with more nutritive value necessary
to help maintain good health?
What could go better than Continental Royal
