Mission
The purpose of this program is to increase the social integration opportunities of young offenders (under age children) who have committed a criminal offence but who are not criminally responsible from the viewpoint of the law.

Objective

• to form and strengthen the pro-social values, attitudes and skills of young offenders
• to integrate them into society through constructive activities which take place in their spare time using available local resources
• to improve the school performance and/or reintegrate these children into the formal school system
• to improve the competence of parents looking after, educating and supervising the young offenders.

Beneficiares:

Children who have  committed  criminal acts, but not criminally responsible, live in Cluj-Napoca, were minors (under 14 years old) when they committed the criminal offence (or between 14 and 16 years old if it was proved that they did not have the ability to discriminate between right and wrong). Beneficiaries are also the parents of these children, taking into consideration that an effective intervention in the case of young offenders' needs also an intervention at the family level which sets the context within which the child lives.

Activities:

• The individual psychological social assistance program (counselling and individual psychotherapy activities both for children and their parents)
• Mediation activities with other organizations in order to obtain social, medical, educational and judicial services from the local community for these children and parents
• The group therapy program (this is designed to form and strengthen the young offenders' pro-social conduct)
• The pedagogical assistance program consists of: the reintegration of these children in the formal school system (for children who abandoned school and are eligible to re-enter it)
• Coaching activity is for those children who have registered a failure to graduate school (pupils not completing examinations or failing to move up to the next level of study). Supervision homework activity is provided for all children who attend school courses (these activities take place in small groups)
• The leisure program includes: sport activities, trips during the holidays, entertainment activities (educational movies, computer games, shows etc.)
• The material support program consists of: offering school supplies, writing materials and paying for out-of-school courses, transportation and meals for child beneficiaries
