RISK &

            PROTECTIVE

            FACTORS

            Comparison of the baseline risk and
            protective factor assessments to the most
            recent reassessment in 2024 indicates:

                » 91% of youth maintained  or significantly
                                     14
               increased their protective factors.

                » About 40% of youth decreased their risk factors.


            SUCCESSFUL
            COMPLETIONS


            Engagement, increased skills, and reduced risk factors most often lead to
            successful program completion.
                » Approximately 74% of youth completed the program by successfully meeting their goals
              or completing the available programming.
                » About 26% of youth did not successfully complete their program – this includes youth                    74%
              getting a new law violation, youth running away or absconding, violation of program
              requirements, or violation of probation.                                                                     OF YOUTH
                                                                                                                        SUCCESSFULLY
                » In 2024, there were 584 program terminations that were considered “neutral” and
              excluded from the program completion calculations (22% of terminations). Neutral                         COMPLETED THE
              reasons include program enrollments termed within 10 days, changes in contract/                             PROGRAM
              end of the semester, or a youth who returned a second time within a short period of
              time (second program enrollment is assessed for successful or unsuccessful program
              completion).








            14 Maintenance is included as a positive outcome as youth typically would experience a decline in these areas without support from the programs.
