ABOUT OUR WORK WITH YOUTH AND FAMILIES
The majority of youth we serve bear a reality that has exposed them to disappointments, instability in home and family life, direct or indirect trauma, violence, drug abuse and a variety of factors that have contributed to their current situation. Our programming is designed in response to the youth’s intellectual, emotional and physical development needs.
