The Illinois Youth Advocate Program’s overall goals are to minimize the use of institutionalization, secure detention and confinement of youth; to develop innovative, viable and cost-effective community-based alternatives for youth involved in the juvenile justice, child welfare, and mental health systems in Illinois; and to advocate on behalf of youth through citizen involvement and direct community services which focus on permanency and least restrictive environment for all youth. | ||||||||||||
