About

About the Education Advocate Program

Youth offenders re-entering the community face a number of systems level and individual barriers that place them at-risk of failing during the re-entry process. To effectively address these obstacles the Education Advocate program is designed to increase the success of youth released from both the County Detention Centers and Juvenile Rehabilitation Administration (JRA) facilities through the implementation of a comprehensive case management model.

Working with Cowlitz and Clark County detention center partners, Education Advocates provide education case management services to youth involved in the juvenile justice system in an effort to increase student re-engagement and prevent dropout and reoffending. The project also serves youth coming out of state juvenile facilities who are transitioning back to school, workforce or GED.

ESD 112
ESD 112October 27, 2025 at 8:57am
On October 13, ESD 112 brought together school and community leaders at the Principals' Breakfast and Resource Fair to discuss student well-being across our region.

Clark County Public Health shared insights from the Healthy Youth Survey, the only population-level health data source for adolescents in Southwest Washington. This statewide survey helps schools direct prevention programming where it's needed most.

Students from the Goldendale High School (GHS) Prevention Club joined the conversation, bringing youth perspectives to the table. "I got involved in prevention because I want to help high school students change their habits," shared Jacy, a GHS student who helps organize Red Ribbon Week and other prevention activities.
