The purpose of this action item is the swearing in of Jacob and Anna Stankevitz as Junior <br />Cadets. Jacob and Anna will work with several departments within the city to gain job and <br />communication skills through the Growth Through Opportunity program (GTO). <br /> <br />2. Background. This will be the fourth group of young men and women that we have worked with to <br />develop their skills as well as ours. The junior cadets are in the Orono Transition Program, which is <br />designed to help 18–21-year-olds with disabilities transition from high school to the real world by <br />providing them opportunities where they can gain job and life skills. The Transition Program teamed up <br />with the Orono Police Department and the city of Orono to offer a program called Growth Through <br />Opportunity, or GTO, which is designed for young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities <br />to gain skills and experience by volunteering with their local police department. <br /> <br />3.

To start their time with the Orono we will conduct a swearing in ceremony. <br /> <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />No council action needed <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Date: May 22, 2023 <br />Item Description: Swearing In Ceremony of Junior Cadets <br />Presenter: Correy Farniok <br />Police Chief <br />Agenda <br />Section: <br />Consent Agenda
