Distinguished Youth

Distinguished Youth is a program that will be in direct response to the growing number of young people that are either falling through the cracks at school or are already entangled with the juvenile court system.

The goal of the program is to identify youth who are going to have a turbulent transition to adulthood and offer positive support system to avoid the pitfalls that can derail their lives.

 

"Our kids are our future"
