Student Referral Process
Students are referred to SESPP from a variety of sources, as anyone can make a student referral. Our most frequent referral sources are:
- Department of Children and Families (DCF)
- School Districts
- Department of Youth Services (DYS)
For initial program referrals, an official referral form must be completed for each individual student. Upon receipt by the program, a student referral is distributed to a case coordinator. The case coordinator will determine whether a student is eligible for an SESPP volunteer by contacting the student's DCF social worker, and then contacting additional providers to gather information as necessary.
