The overall purpose of the program is to reach high-risk youth, who have an increased potential to dropout. RY was originally designed for high school students in grades 9-12.
High schools are an ideal setting for prevention programs.
The program explores, in a timely way, the decisions high-risk youth face and the consequences of actions based on their decisions. The fundamental program components of RY is group work, in which social support is exchanged between the educator and program participants. We look forward to implementing the Reconnecting Youth program in your school and would like to thank you for your continued support. The Student Assistant Counselor provides prevention, intervention, support and instructional services. The main goal of our program is to alleviate alcohol and other drug related problems in the local schools.
