Year: 2023

The Education and Vocational Connection Coordinator (EVCC) works with court-involved youth to identify educational and vocational needs and connect youth to the services or programs to meet those needs. For youth transitioning to any school program, the EVCC works with the family, in consultation and collaboration with the youth’s probation officer, to identify and address any and all tasks associated with getting the child back in school. The EVCC is knowledgeable about the Chesterfield County Public School System and has established relationships/contacts to leverage in getting the child back in school or enrolled in a different school/educational program. The EVCC administers vocational assessments for court-involved youth, meets with youth and their families to discuss vocational and educational interests, and connects youth to programs, internships, job shadowing or other services where youth can explore and learn.
