Community: Saturday graduation for VIDA youth program students.

On Saturday VIDA class #33 graduated from the 18 week academy. Captain Stuckey, Javier Arroyo and Deputy Soukup are pictured with the proud graduates. We are recruiting for the next class right now.
VIDA serves kids between the ages of 11 and 17 1/2 at eight locations across the county. Over the course of the 16-week program, VIDA participants focus on increasing academic achievement, improving family relationships, developing positive social behaviors and realizing the possibilities for a better future.

The program includes regular visits with VIDA staff members, a Saturday component and weekly sessions with the child and parent to facilitate communication and understanding. Upon completion of the program, participants receive a certificate of completion and are referred to other programs to continue their growth.
