Focus: Opening a non-profit, halfway house for juveniles to assist them with getting back on their feet by offering career classes, resume writing services/classes, etc. Business Model Canvas Customer Segments: The halfway house would serve a niche market that caters to juveniles involved with the Department of Juvenile Justice by providing them life-long skills needed to be successful in the job market. In this market, juveniles involved with the Department of Juvenile Justice would be our direct customers. • For whom are we creating value? We are not only creating value for our direct customers, but we are also creating value for the community and society in general. Customers learn to become self-sufficient and productive members of society by learning career skills. This alleviates stress on governmental entities such as the police and justice departments, social programs such as SNAP (Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program) and HUD (Housing and Urban Development), and community aid organizations that provide a variety of resources by creating positively contributing members of society. • Who are our most important customers? Our most important customers are the juveniles themselves. Ultimately, they are the ones who choose to embrace the opportunity to learn valuable career skills that will allow them to be self-sufficient members of society. Their decisions and actions then benefit the community and society in general. This makes the support the halfway house

A halfway house that is fully functioning offers several pros and cons to nearby neighborhoods. It calculating present can be defined in social and financial terms. However, I would not support a half-way house being opened in my neighborhood. In order for one to understand my point of view and meaning of half-way houses, I must first dissect how these dwellings can support or oppose a community lifestyle. One major concern of a half-way house being opened in a neighborhood is safe. When a halfway house is located in a surrounding area there is a chance of insecurity among potential homeowners. Half-way houses provide a place of residence for individuals that have or struggled with major problems including mental illnesses or drug abuse. This
What is value? For everyone, it is different. In business, what do we value? Do we value our client? Do we value our company? Do we value our products? In respect to business world relationships and “good” relationships, they are built on trust—that is definitely a value (in my opinion), especially in the business world. As a Starbucks barista, customers value their barista. I have seen it, and I can say that I know a lot more about a customer’s personal life than I ever thought I would when I was first employed with the company. Customers will come in at the same time when the same barista is working because they are having service done by someone that they can trust. There is a value between the two, and the customer definitely sees the barista as a giver (a giver a great customer experience/service). In a greater perspective of this book, good business relationships are not built on the product, but more so the service that the company has to offer—they are built with the person that is offering whatever product it may be that the company is offering.

In order for a firm to create competitive advantage, it needs to create a set of activites that can deliver value to the specific product and services it offers to its customers.

Many people have dreams and aspirations for the future. Some want to be rich, have their dream home, be famous or travel the world. While these are all great goals and aspirations, they are not a wish of mine. My dream is to open a non-profit organization that assists in finding employment for disabled adults, specifically autistic adults. Before beginning this establishment I must have a solid vision, the mission of the non-profit, the goals I am aspiring to reach and a firm set of policies in place all while ensuring the correct management style is utilized.

The reality for these teens is, “death isn’t just a possibility–it’s a reality they accept.” But Piquero hopes government officials see the urgency in his research and will help give disadvenataged teens more opportunities to become productive members of society. These kids need education and jobs. Chad Houser, exectutive director of Dallas-based Cafe Momentum, offers young men coming out of jail internships. Many of the men he helps realize the pride of completing an honest day’s work. “A simple pat on the back can make all the difference for disadvantaged juvenile offenders.” For many, they “feel a sense of approval and joy that comes in living up to expectations.” Their attitudes begin to change when they see they have something to live and word towards, instead of “accepting their dismal circumstances as fate.”
“The effects of the juvenile justice programs are “profound and crippling,” setting youth back instead of helping them.” (Just Learning: The Imperative to Transform Juvenile Justice Systems into Effective Educational Systems) These centers do much more harm than good when it comes to the children staying in these facilities. The “education” that these centers are giving

My current DFS is a non-profit organization that serves youth from grade 6-9; it is an after-school drop-in center that welcomes various population. The Cornerstone youth center was established in 1994; however, it has closed and re-opened throughout the years due to lack of funding. All our funds are provided by grants, fundraising, and donations; because of limited resources, Cornerstone has limited services.

The programs come in the form of craft, activities, presentations, discussions and guest speakers. Our programs are designed to act as preventative measures to build resiliency to both resolve current issues, as well as ensure the youth are better equipped
Explain the differences in private and publicly funded juvenile institutions. If you had the power to affect the operation of both, which youth would you send to which facilities? Do private facilities have a place in the state-run correctional industry?
