Juvenile Justice Services | YOUTH ADVOCACY PROGRAM (YAP)

YAP continually evolves services to meet new needs that emerge for youth involved within the juvenile justice system, but most of our programming is designed for the purposes below. Diversion: to divert youth from formal system involvement. Pre-Adjudication: to prevent formal detention while ensuring community safety. Post-Adjudication: to prevent incarceration in prisons, jails or other residential or secure facilities. Re-Entry: to promote safety and support to youth transitioning back to the community from institutional placement.
