At-Risk Youth Referral Program

Our youth is our future.

We have to shape them to be the best they can be and reach them before the streets do. We make every teen feel safe, seen, and supported — and we show them something that too often lacks at home: attention, guidance, approval, and love.

The Referral Program

Filling the gap between youth and their future

Our referral program steps in early, surrounding at-risk juveniles with mentors, advocates, and the kind of family support that keeps them out of the system and pointed toward their potential. Our licensed staff go directly to juvenile court when needed — advocating to judges to place youth in our programs rather than the justice system.

  • Early intervention before consequences alter their futures
  • Trusted mentors who show up with attention, structure, and guidance
  • Licensed staff advocacy directly in juvenile court
What we offer

Support for the whole young person

Mentoring

Hands-on academic support so no student falls behind or feels alone in their learning.

Closing the gap with law enforcement

Juvenile CIT — Crisis Intervention Training

Our CIT program fills the gap between our youth and law enforcement by equipping teens with the knowledge and communication skills to have safe, positive encounters with police. We educate them on their rights, de-escalation strategies, and how to navigate interactions calmly and confidently — because education is protection.

At-Risk Referral Outreach Program

We meet youth wherever they are — even in court

When a juvenile appears in court, our licensed staff are there. We speak directly to the judge and advocate for alternatives to incarceration — linking youth with our programs and the community resources they need. Our goal is to keep every boy and girl out of the jails and the system, and to turn them into outstanding men and women.

We become the family that fills the gap

Many of the young people we serve are missing one thing: someone who consistently shows up. We become that family — providing the attention, structure, bonding, guidance, and approval that shapes outstanding men and women. If we show teens a better way now, we make a better tomorrow for everyone.
