Vision Statement
We envision a mentally healthy community where the worth and dignity
of every person is promoted and encouraged.
Mission Statement
To provide work
skills, life skills programs, and Restorative Justice practices
that produce positive outcomes for victims, the community, and
at-risk youth, while promoting accountability for juvenile offenders.
Values Statement
Service – Always
act in the best interest of the people we serve.
Integrity – Demonstrate
honest, trust and respect in all relationships.
Excellence – Strive
for excellence in all that we do.
Fiscal
Stewardship – Act
at all times with a high sense of financial responsibility.
Core Beliefs
- Provide
functional work habits and skills for youth.
- To create
a positive attitude within the youth by providing him /her with
a role as
a productive member of this community.
- To provide
the youth with a constructive way to spend his/her time.
- To provide
victims with a viable resource to recover damages or losses.
- To
provide valuable work services to the community.
Workout,
Ltd. has proven that it works:
- In its 30
years of service to the community, Workout, Ltd. returned
close to $2,000,000 to the victims of juvenile crime
and served over 17,000 youthful offenders.
- The idea of
making youth understand the immediate consequences
of their actions apparently works-while an average
of 30% of most youthful offenders in traditional rehabilitation
programs are rearrested,
this rate continually stands at less then 10% for Workout,
Ltd. youth (currently 7.4%).
- Your tax dollars
are saved. The Colorado Division of Youth Corrections (prison
for youth) reported
that it costs $160.12 per
day to institutionalize a youth whereas it only costs $54.57
per day for a youth in Workout,
Ltd.’s programs.
- The instant
the youth begins work through the Workout, Ltd. Work/Restitution
Program,
he or she becomes a contributing taxpayer rather
than
a tax burden.
- In addition
to understanding the responsibility for the consequences of their
actions, the youth:
- Gain an
understanding and appreciation for work and social ethics.
- Enter
a structured and productive working and nurturing environment
in the community,
instead of a tax supported
institution.
- Realize
valuable self-pride through their successful achievements
in
the program.
- Receive
training in job and social skill development that may
either
lead them to a
permanent vocation
and/or socially
acceptable
behaviors.
