ABOUT JUVENILE PROBATION WRAPAROUND

The Solano Wraparound program serves Solano County children and adolescents who are involved with Juvenile Probation and who are transitioning from or are at risk of going to out-of-home care or juvenile hall. The program’s objective is to keep those youth living with a family or in a family like setting in the community.
