Youth Justice

We work with court-involved youth and their families to ensure youth remain at home and we provide community residences with intensive supports for juveniles as an alternative to incarceration. We also provide integrated therapeutic, educational, vocational, and supportive services to young adults on Riker’s Island prior to and after release.
