Financial Literacy
Saving and managing finances is key and many program participants have not been shown how to effectively do this. It is our desire to change this culture by working with participants to open checking and savings accounts. When youths are able to build material assets they are more likely to achieve positive outcomes such as higher expectations and confidence about the future, long-term thinking and planning.

Wraparound services encompass needed support in areas such as life skills and barrier removal services. Not only are participants provided with key developmental support, but also with services focused on reducing violent incidents and negative contacts with law enforcement which generally results in the continued deterioration of the family.
