The program has decreased from 20 youth to 10 youth effective April 1st, 2015 (four youth are currently transitioning out of the project to meet the goal of 10). Sheldon Pollett, Choices for Youth’s Executive Director says, “In the future, like any contracting company, or business, we will scale up and down according to the contact work we have on hand. We intend however, to use 10 [youth] as our base”. If new projects are obtained, the model allows for an increase in the number of youth hired.
