VIDA class is open for enrollment for February academy class. 
Happy New Year! After enjoying a few days off, we are back in full swing. We are excited to share with you the dates of our upcoming VIDA Academy!
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Vital Intervention & Directional Alternatives Academy (VIDA) is currently accepting applications for the spring class. The 16 week academy will start on February 14, 2018 and will graduate June 9, 2018.
The VIDA Academy is designed for “at-risk” youth between the ages of 11 and 17 to learn how to make better life choices and take responsibility for their future. VIDA is designed to redirect “at-risk” youth with issues such as defiance, anger, failing grades, truancy, family discord and substance abuse. VIDA incorporates physical fitness training, impulse control, life skill training, emotional management techniques, parent-teen and conflict resolution. Participants are referred to VIDA through the Juvenile Courts, schools or by their parents. VIDA is an opportunity for participants to work with law enforcement and other community-based organizations to create positive influences in their lives that will encourage them to succeed.
If you know a teen who can benefit from this program please visit www.vida.la or call the Altadena VIDA coordinator at (661) 753-6293 and ask for Deputy Soukup.
Let's all make sure we start the new year right!
