Our Critical Success Factor Produces Early Results Kintups early success factor has been rooted in the strategy and role we’ve created – our youth consultants. These are young men that represent the population we serve who were early entrants and have guided the strategy, design of the programs. Additionally, they have identified their peers to join us for focus groups and pilot executions of our programs to provide feedback, encouragement and confirmation of the experience we’ve created. As a result, we have already begun to see a substantial uplift in the daily lives of our consultants. Their outlook on life has brightened in ways that the staff witnesses daily. They avoid, and even discuss, situations that previously might have tempted them and created risky consequences, but they opt not to because they want to set the example and not let Kintups down.

The Need Youth involved in the juvenile justice system are often left with limited resources and few opportunities to turn their lives around. The statistics are staggering:
80% of youth in the juvenile justice system are from underserved communities with limited access to educational and vocational resources.
1 in 3 young men of color will experience some form of justice system involvement.
Kintups is here to change that narrative. By providing holistic support, we give youth the tools to succeed and thrive, breaking the cycle of poverty and incarceration.
