Youth And Community Together (YACT) is an intervention for male juvenile offenders as well as young men that possess various risk factors that are hindering their personal growth and success. YACT’s purpose is to prevent recidivism and juvenile delinquency. The goal is to give young males opportunities to strengthen community connections and become positive contributing members of our society by increasing awareness of the consequences of their behavior and the importance of being meaningfully engaged in the community. YACT seeks to help young adults develop self-awareness and increase interpersonal skills. YACT activities include topical group discussion, tours/panel discussions, victim sensitivity training, community/personal enrichment projects, support groups and relationship building.
