Youth Advocate Programs

Youth Advocate Programs (YAP) are community-based initiatives designed to support young people, particularly those facing challenges such as delinquency, mental health issues, or family difficulties. These programs provide mentoring, advocacy, and support services, helping youth navigate their circumstances and access resources. YAP aims to promote positive development, empower youth to build life skills, and reduce involvement with the juvenile justice system. By working closely with families and local communities, YAP focuses on creating a supportive environment that fosters resilience and encourages young people to make positive choices for their futures.
