HOW WE MAKE THE CHANGE

Change

INTENSIVE CASE MANAGEMENT (FIRST 12 WEEKS)

Youth are provided with wrap-around services based on their individual needs and goals. 


- Establish trusting and long-lasting connections

- Assess needs and develop youth-led strategies

- Engage wrap-around supports

- Action plan towards educational, professional, or personal goals


GOAL SETTING, MENTORING, & COMMUNITY EVENTS

After students are stabilized, they identify goals with their TPC Transition Navigator and are encouraged to make weekly and monthly steps towards their educational, professional, and personal goals. As youth advance in the program, they are connected to more and more positive community connections in support of their goals.

Change

12-WEEK SPORTS PERFORMANCE PROGRAM

The Sports Performance Program cultivates resilience and persistence in youth with a structured setting. Youth learn the importance of pushing through difficult challenges and following through on commitments. The determination and resilience they learn in class translates into real life situations. Three times per week community sports programming has also been shown to reduce defiant behavior, improve grades and increase competencies, such as self-management, personal accountability, and leadership.


DIRECT SUPPORT WITH EDUCATION & CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM NAVIGATION

The program supports youth as they navigate the complex interactions of the criminal justice system and the education system to provide support, expertise, and advocacy. Youth receive school transition support for academic success, including a Special Education Director to support needs identification and legal counsel to speed placement.

Change

Over a year’s time, youth who have been charged with a serious offense or incarcerated receive support from a Transition Navigator to reconnect to education, family, and community as well as support for college/ career planning and transition.
