Crossroads 2



In partnership with Correctional Home for Juveniles, Youth Council Krusevac implemented continuation of project “Crossroads” – support to social integration of young offenders and ex offenders in the field of employment, which was supported by Solidar Suiss (Switzerland).

Project “Crossroads 2” had the aim to contribute to higher level of social inclusion of young offenders from Correctional Home for Juveniles in Krusevac through introduction of post penal services, in the field of employment and active job search. Within the project, besides education of young offenders about labor market and employment, we also organized support on field to ex young offenders related to active job search.



With support of Serbian Ministry of Justice, Youth Council Krusevac started the initiative to create a network of NGOs in Serbia which will be providing post penal support to ex young offenders. These services are being provided by YCK since January 2012, to all ex offenders from Rasina area. But, since after leaving the Correctional Home young offenders go back to their own communities, it is necessary to engage organizations from all parts of Serbia.

Organizations – members of the network are:
Association DUGA, Sabac,  asocijacijaduga@open.telekom.rs
NGO “Glas Vranja”, Vranje, glasvranja.vr@gmail.com
Forum for civil society development, Kragujevac, frcdkg@gmail.com
Kocka, Novi Sad, officekocka@gmail.com
By creating this network we make a firm basis for implementation of legal possibilities in practice and providing support to social reintegration of ex offenders all over Serbia.
