JUVJ 198 - Institutional Ministry Models

Institution:

Eastern University

Subject:

Juvenile Justice

Description:

This professional course lays a foundation for ministry to youth in conditions of confinement. It will present an extensive overview for those working with young offenders in institutions as well as helpful skills to train volunteers who desire to minister there. Students will be exposed to various models for serving incarcerated youth. To be effective in juvenile ministry, it is imperative that chaplains and ministers fully understand the environment in which they labor. Juvenile facilities are a cross-cultural environment with multi-complex and competing interests. Incarcerated youth represent a sub-population with the needs and problems of typical teenagers, only hyper-accelerated. Some of this stress comes internally, and some is caused by the environment to which they are confined.
