With special thanks to our community partners, Klamath Youth Development Center and Lutheran Community services, for their contributions. The mission of the Klamath County Model Juvenile Court is to improve permanency outcomes for children in temporary out-of-home placement (foster care). Recognizing a child's unique sense of time and the importance of permanency to a child's wellbeing, we will continue to create meaningful and sustainable systems change for children and families in Klamath County.
