Mission Statement

MISSION

Our mission is to protect the public, hold juvenile offenders accountable for their crimes, and reduce criminal behavior through a continuum of preventive, rehabilitative, and transition programs in residential and community settings.

VISION

We will contribute to the quality of life in Washington State through the use of our leadership, resources, and the commitment of our staff to strengthen communities and services to juvenile offenders

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

  • Community Protection

We believe protection and safety for victims, communities, staff, and juvenile offenders in our care are of principal importance.

  • Youth Accountability

We require accountability of juvenile offenders demonstrated by an awareness of the impact of their crimes on victims and by their compensation to victims and communities.

  • Youth Competency Development

We believe our interventions can help juvenile offenders change through developing competence in skills that result in socially responsible behavior.

  • Staff Development and Participation

We value employees and the critical role they play in implementing our mission. We support diversity, training, career development, promotion, safety, and job satisfaction.

Program Accountability

We believe in program and staff accountability measured by compliance with accreditation standards and evaluation of organizational goal achievement, efficiency, and effectiveness.
