Campbell County/City of Gillette Early Age Intervention Program

The Early Age Intervention Program is a voluntary program offered to youth between the ages of 5-12, who are identified as at-risk youth. Youth participating in the Early Age Intervention Program do not need a pending criminal offense to enroll in the program. They must meet eligibility requirements to be accepted into the program.

The purpose of the Campbell County/City of Gillette Early Age Intervention Program is to hold youthful offenders accountable for criminal, delinquent, and destructive behaviors. This is accomplished by intervening at home, school, and socially with the youth to bolster academic performance and self-esteem, increase community safety, and strengthen the family unit.

• The program provides teachers and principals with on-site problem solving with youth during school hours.
