Preferred term

Probation Mentor Home Program  

Definition

  • The Probation Mentor Home Program was established in Allen County, Indiana, in 1990 to provide temporary foster care to juvenile delinquents between the ages of 10 and 17. The purpose of the program was to establish a supportive collaboration among temporary mentor parents, natural parents, the school system, and the Juvenile Probation Department in order to treat at-risk juveniles in the community rather than send them to secure institutions.
