Cornerstone has one executive director and is responsible for the day-to-day operation of the center, which includes developing the business plan with board members, managing staff and collaborating with other agencies. The community relations manager is responsible for promoting and developing relationships in the community as well as to increase awareness of our programs. Our executive director and relation manager will also visit junior high schools within the district to promote our program.
The lighter green head figures are the Youth workers; Currently, we have a full-time youth worker team lead and a part-time youth worker. Our team leader is also responsible for the day-to-day operation

In Cornerstone, this type of conflict happens almost on a weekly basis between the staff and the youth. Sometimes the youth’s preference and personality trait can contribute to the battle; for example, some youths are persistent and refused to listen to staff. They instead disregard the rules and do what they prefer, when the staff approaches and a confrontation occurs, it turns into a power struggle. Few of the youth will compromise while others will avoid the confrontation; the youth who avoid may leave the center and not attend for a few

The agency has refused to deliver services to Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual/Transgender people, and now there’s a pending legal class action suit filed against the agency, its staff and its Board of Directors.

    Johann, Police agencies and any other company desire their organization to run efficiently in order to achieve its maximum outcome without chaos and uncertainty. I work for the Arkansas Department of Correction and we utilize a chain of command structure, in which the responsibilities are directly delegated to subordinates who are clearly aware of their role. Without this structure in place, we would have a maximum amount of disorganization, an utmost level of confusion, and a minimum amount of output. This could be extremely dangerous and even life threatening to staff and the inmates if information is not communicated up and down the chain of authority properly. Although our wardens have a bosses they report to (deputy directors who reports…

An episode of a verbal provocation took place before the corner yard, a boy with Grey Jacket told the boy with an Angry bird logo shirt that he wanted to hold the key to open the corner yard.

The Angry bird is bossy and wanted to do what he desire instead of thinking how his peer would…
