Work Experience Program at Buckeye
Boys Ranch
Lynn Trepicorne, Vocational Coordinator for the Work Experience Program
at Buckeye Boys Ranch in Ohio, reports, "The same qualities that promote
success in the workplace are those that will help youth become responsible
adults. Therefore, employment is a very important part of treatment
for many of our older adolescents." Charles Winkler, counselor for Buckeye
Boys Ranch, explains the need for their Life Skills Education in when
adolescents are placed in independent living situations without having
learned the most basic independent living skills, the results are often
devastating for these youngsters. "When youth are thrust into this situation,
with no family support, in many cases they turn to criminal activity
or welfare assistance. These youth become an added burden and/or threat
to society instead of becoming independent and productive adults."
