New Beginnings Youth Program
This program works with youths from ages 12-17 around restorative justice. It encourages youths to build positive and powerful relationships with individuals, families and communities. The program supports and educates youths on conflict resolution, repairing harm, healing and making oneself a priority. We provide tools to help them achieve and succeed in academics, their goals and life. Trusting the Process! To be and to do.
