| Juvenile offenders leaving prison are getting help in reentering society though a program at IUPUI. Through the Aftercare by IUPUI through Mentoring (AIM) program, volunteers are paired with incarcerated juvenile offenders at facilities in Plainfield, Pendleton, Fort Wayne, Bloomington, Logansport, South Bend and LaPorte. Volunteers serve as mentors and offer support after the kids are released with everything from how to prepare for a job interview to how to get a bus pass. Coming to the center and working with AIM volunteers and staff gives the former offenders an opportunity to learn more positive behaviors, according to Roger Jarjoura, an IU professor of public and environmental affairs who developed the program.
