* BIG DREAM! *

Do you know a child who has struggled with life issues, feelings of inadequacy, bullying, threats, a lack of motivation, or fears? How about substance abuse, gang involvement, or violence?

Rich or poor, many of our kids are getting left behind and left out. They feel afraid, and fear brings out the worst in all of us. Perhaps no one has taken the time to show them how to act, or relate to other people, or negotiate their way through disagreements. They use anger and violence to protect themselves. They join gangs to make themselves feel like they have a family.

The current system uses punishment to try to control them. Many go to jail or prison at a young age. Thousands give up hope and check out of life with drugs, alcohol and suicide.

We have a solution... Restorative Justice training for schools, youth organizations and prisons. You can help!

Face it. The juvenile justice system is overloaded, and our schools are turning into prisons where children don't feel safe. It's time to get creative! There are more effective alternatives to detention, suspension, expulsion, and juvenile incarceration. Youth Transformation Center's programs face head-on critical issues that too many of our children experience every day. Issues such as inadequate parenting, generational poverty, gang and domestic violence, substance abuse, depression, and suicide. If stable adults buckle under such pressures, can we really expect children to act differently? Truancy, dropout rates, disengagement from studies, and school discipline problems are merely symptoms of deeper issues. As responsible, caring adults we have the unprecedented opportunity to get to the core and turn things around to help our youth channel their energies into more positive goals and lifestyles. If we don't do it, who will? Please join us in this exciting work that produces results!
