Youth Empowerment

Solution:

Empowered youths find inner strength, commitment to remain on their path, hope for a future where personal and professional dreams can become true, and a psychological shift where empowerment defines their path.

Situation:

The number of youths involved in our justice system is expanding to the point of being out of control. With no relief in sight, the path for many will be incarceration.

 

• Locking up a juvenile costs states (meaning you and I) an average of $407.58 per person per day and $148,767 per person per year when the most expensive option is used, according to a new report by the Justice Policy Institute.
• Average daily cost with 2nd Chance University $10.00 per person (an extreme savings as our youth regain their path)

Current programs ignore key factors when modifying behavior: How trauma affects inner/outer perspective, the strength of empowerment, the muscle of Hope, and the undying human spirit.

Task:

Juveniles in the justice system are at a crossroad. As generational parents, we are tasked to provide proper guidance, support, care, and a means to personal and professional progression.

Without the right attitude, self-belief, proper tools to succeed, and a positive vision for their future, most are destined to wrong choices and recidivism.

Action:

2nd Chance University innovative and interactive programs takes youths who have stumbled along their path onto new ground as each prepares their Journey FOR a lifetime.

 

Result:

Ultimately, each juvenile freed from becoming a repeat offender is another adult who will not be institutionalized in the future.
