​Language For Justice: Teaching language 

JUVENILE REHABILITATION

Juvenile Rehabilitation (DCYF JR) serves Washington state's highest-risk youth. Youth may be committed to JR custody by any county juvenile court. The juvenile courts follow prescribed sentencing guidelines to determine which youth will be committed to JR. These youth typically have committed many lower-level offenses or have committed a serious crime. Relevant Engagement provides advising, coaching and instruction (credit and pre college Guided Pathways).

The Men of Culture Academy (MOCA) serves juvenile offenders retained in their home counties and receive services administered by the juvenile court; e.g., detention and/or probation.

MOCA JR cohorts are typically deep end youth that have committed serious crimes or have an accrued an extensive criminal history. MOCA provides alternative trauma informed approaches to rehabilitation (arts music therapy, creative writing, BIPOC dance and performing arts, meditation, yoga)
