From the Paper:

"The DOME project centers on education and building opportunities for juvenile offenders and other at risk youth. DOME has helped thousands of youth make a brighter future for themselves (DOME, 2007). The project helps youth focus on a developing a positive sense of themselves as individuals so that they not only survive, but they can thrive in their communities (DOME, 2007). I feel that this is an excellent program and that it has excellent opportunities for professional and personal growth in the future. DOME attacks the problem from the root, instead of simply placing a bandage over it once it has occurred. The focus of DOME is on prevention. This is a key reason for choosing this program as my career target."
