1.We provide participants with affordable, safe housing in a apartment setting where they will be expected to master transitional living skills, as a result of the range of interventions offered by YCBA/YCBAT, Inc.
2.We collaborate with different agencies to insure participants obtain resources needed as they work toward self -sufficiency.
3.We place focus on enabling participants to meet basic survival needs as they explore options and opportunities to improve their lives.
4.We guide participants in developing “Individualized Growth Plans” that identify measurable outcomes for educational, interpersonal, and rewarding community involvement.
5.We facilitate changes in the lives of participants so that they may live lives of independence and interdependence.
6.In the spirit of “each one help one; each one teach one,” we have designed a research and evaluation component to widely disseminate “Lessons Learned” and “Paths Forward” that may be replicated among other at-risk youth programs.
