Building Futures, Not Just Fines | Cincinnati News

Hamilton County’s juvenile court is revolutionizing how it supports young offenders—not by just assigning chores, but by actively building futures. The new Direct Line Careers program guides kids toward career training and higher education, running alongside their legal cases. With phases called Spark, Build, and Launch, it introduces pathways to success, emphasizing showing up, learning, and asking for help. Spearheaded by Judge Kari Bloom, the initiative targets non-custodial minors, offering mentorship and collaboration with Cincinnati Public Schools to empower them to shape their own destinies—whether through college, vocational skills, or work—and unlock a brighter tomorrow.
