Junior Deputy
The Junior Deputy Program:
This program is offered to the elementary schools of Luzerne County. We are currently teaching in ten of the eleven school districts. This includes public, private and parochial schools. The program is taught to fourth grade students. Our goal is to provide sound guidance and meaningful learning opportunities that will aid them in becoming responsible, productive citizens of the future.
The Junior Deputy Program is taught for a total of five weeks. We meet with the children for approximately one hour each week. The students are taught the dangers of strangers, alcohol, drugs, tobacco and guns. They are also taught the consequences of shoplifting and vandalism. After completing the program, the students are honored at a graduation ceremony in which their parents are invited to attend. At the graduation, each student is presented with a certificate.
