Our expanded services are based on the Credible Messenger's transformative approach to mentoring to help youth overcome challenges, particularly those with justice system involvement. On a weekly basis, services are provided for juveniles (ages 10 - 25) to include, but not limited to, financial literacy, healthy lifestyles, entrepreneurship, and/or employability skills, human trafficking/child molestation avoidance, trauma healing, gang resistance, social responsibility, police/community relations, parenting skills, and tertiary education (career/college). Our goal is to assist juvenile justice involved youth with reducing crime by breaking the power of poverty and incarceration.
