Students are eligible for Youth in Care (YIC) mentoring/educational services if the student is in the custody of the Sate of Utah (Division of Child and Family Services, Division of Juvenile Justice Services). It is our goal to provide a safe, respectful, and nurturing environment where youth will experience academic success, while discovering and developing their social, emotional, and intellectual potential. Check & Connect mentoring services are available to all YIC students.
While making enrollment decisions about your student, please consider our Youth Academy Program. The Youth Academy serves a specific population of students who are in need of additional resources to fully access academic and school settings. Our program provides transitional support for students needing intervention or recovery in a therapeutic setting to increase social and emotional skills. Transportation is provided.
If you have a K-12 student who will be enrolling in Canyons School District, please complete the appropriate forms and email them to joann.larsen@canyonsdistrict.org.
If you have any questions, please contact Jo Ann Larsen at 801-826-5506.
