Providing Teens with a Second Chance and Job Skills
</p>

<img src="images/nevelsk.jpg" alt="" name="nevelsk" width="228" height="172" hspace="5" vspace="5" border="0" align="left">The Nevelski Juvenile Detention Center in Pskov currently houses 160 youths, ranging from fourteen to eighteen years of age. It is a familiar story. Many of these teenagers come from poor homes or orphanages, suffer from learning disabilities and have severely limited academic and/or practical skills. Tenuous connections with their families breed feelings of isolation and disbelief that they can actually turn their lives around. The squalid and dilapidated conditions at the center do not encourage rehabilitation, but serve to further embitter the troubled young men. <br>
The Society's close collaborators at the Pskov Children's Fund consider the Nevelski Juvenile Detention Center one of the poorest institutions in the region. Since the surest way to cut the recidivism rate is to provide job training to the detainees, RCWS has stepped in with a $10,000 grant for new equipment for vocational workshops.
<br>
The local job market has a high demand for electricians and welders, so the teens will now have the opportunity to acquire these professional skills. RCWS funds are underwriting the purchase of equipment for welding, cabinetmaking and carpentry workshops, as well as equipment for electrician and locksmith training.
<br>
In addition, the teens learn how to operate sewing machines while in detention. Part of the Society's funds was used to buy the fabric and supplies to produce 200 sets of linens for the children at the Velikolukski Orphanage in Pskov.
<br>
This program benefiting the juvenile delinquents is called "Preparing for a new life." Intervention at this stage will hopefully empower some of these teenagers to reject old habits and assimilate into the broader law-abiding community upon their release. RCWS hopes to give a second chance to those who seek a fresh start in life.
