Tanneh Moore, Circuit 12 JDAP Supervisor for BAYS Florida, thinks of the JDAP program as a youth's last stop before probation. JDAP stands for Juvenile Diversion Alternative Program, and serves kids ages 17 and under who are referred by the Department of Juvenile Justice.
At the #GlasserPassports lunch on October 24, Moore spoke to a room of staff from other agencies on the Glasser/Schoenbaum campus. "We're looking for more community partners and more resources for our kids and their families," she says.
BAYS' work with their clients begins with understanding what each individual needs to succeed and stay out of trouble. As she explained to the group, it's never one problem - there are many reasons a youth may arrive at their door.
The 40-minute discussion was not only informative but brought up some ideas and connections that would be beneficial to BAYS and other agencies on the campus - and most of all to the clients they serve.
Thanks to Apple Spice Catering for providing five free lunches so that attendees could make the time to meet their neighbors!
Real estate is one of the greatest costs in a business budget. Our partnership with The Glasser/Schoenbaum Human Services Center allows more money to go towards our mission. And what better place to house our office than on a campus with nineteen other outreach agencies.
Collaboration is key to the success of our work. The Campus of Caring is a unique space where we can easily join forces with other agencies to make the best use of our resources and maximize our community impact. The affordable rent allows us to allocate more funds to our mission of transforming the lives of students and their families.
As a small organization with a staff of two, employee safety was a big consideration when we were looking for office space. We did not want our employees to be in a place where they were alone. Being on the GSHSC campus has been great because there is a whole community of like-minded professionals.
