Newest JCAP Graduating Class

Newest JCAP Graduating ClassOn Friday, the newest group of men in the Jail Chemical Addiction Program (JCAP) graduated after four months of classes and services. The men completed numerous courses, including MRT, parenting, Celebrate Recovery, fitness, spiritual and job readiness classes. They also received their food handlers safety certificates from ServSafe and seven of the nine men received the managers certificate as well. Four men took an additional challenge and participated in four hours of tutoring each week from Warsaw Adult Education and three passed their high school equivalency test. Nearly 70 people were in attendance for the graduation. Class instructors shared their experiences working with the men and encouraged them to continue to work hard and reach out to them once they’re released from jail. Sheriff Kyle Dukes announced that the next women’s program will start at the end of the month and that another men’s program starts in March. Running two programs at once has been a goal, and funding opportunities have made it possible. Michelle Wiedenbenner donated the men’s graduation T-shirts.
