Dawn M. Howe is the juvenile caseworker for Baraga County probate and family court and has a heavy agenda. “As the Juvenile Probate caseworker, I do probation work for juveniles involved in delinquency cases in our court as well as other prevention/intervention  programs in the community,” she said. “I’m wrapping up my first year in this position and
have some new and interesting programs I’d like people to know about. I am currently collaborating with local schools and truancy professionals from the ISD on a Truancy Prevention Program. “The probate register and I are also wrapping up our first session of a program we started called Girls on the Move. This is something we decided to pilot  independently, but will become an official Family Court program in the near future.” To read more, subscribe to the L’Anse Sentinel online, or buy a print copy at our local retailers.
