What it reported doing in 2024

Youth development: balanced and restorative justice (barj) program works with youth ages 10 through 22 who have been adjudicated in family court, are on probation, are at risk of a truancy filing, or require additional support or have youthful offender status. Barj services focus on restorative interventions that reduce and eliminate further involvement in the juvenile justice system and encourage youth to choose healthy behaviors. Life skills and health education: the organization uses the personal responsibility and education program (prep) curriculum with high-risk youth to provide evidence-based, effective and comprehensive sexuality and reproductive health education. Prep curriculum also provides program participants with training on adolescent development, healthy life skills and healthy relationships. Therapeutic case management program provides cross-system case management and individualized service plans, ensuring that young adults engage in their own futures. Transitional living program (tlp) program provides short-term residential services to homeless youth ages 16 to 21. The services are designed to help young people who are homeless make a successful transition to self- sufficient living. Interaction provides youth with stable, safe living accommodations and services that help them develop skills necessary to become independent. Transitioning from foster care program provides youth development and independent living case management services for youth ages 15 to 22 who are currently in or were formerly in foster care. The goal of the program is to provide access to support leading to employment, education and training opportunities, affordable housing, access to health care, and a network of caring adults.
