Marvin W. Foote Educational Program
A Division of Third Way Center

History

In March of 2004, Third Way Center partnered with the Marvin W. Foote Youth Services Center to provide educational services for the adjudicated youth incarcerated in the facility.  We are contracted to educate thirty youth, both young men and young women, who are separated by gender and instructed in all major academic disciplines by three faculty members.

When the contract was signed initially, the average length of a student’s stay was around six weeks.  However, the Division of Youth Corrections has shifted the function of "the Foote" and it is now used largely as a transitional facility. Presently, the average length of stay has decreased to two weeks. Thus, the nature of the services that we provide has shifted to accommodate a more transient population.

Together with the faculty of the Cherry Creek School and the Foote staff, the Marvin W. Foote Educational Program takes great pride in serving the youth of the 18th Judicial District.
