Transcend, Transform, and Take Flight

PROGRAMS

Picture
Street Smart Youth Project programs are designed to help at-risk youth and young adults identify their personal strengths and take control of the thoughts and feelings that drive high-risk behavior. Both youth and young adults participate in weekly group sessions conducted by clinically-trained counselors and/or by trained staff who deliver prevention education and who facilitate discussions around critical issues to participants. SSYP programs focus on building resiliency and place a special emphasis on prevention regarding delinquent and criminal behavior, alcohol and substance abuse, and HIV awareness and prevention.

All programs work arduously toward this mission through the delivery of the following prevention and early intervention services via behavioral health and public health strategies:
  • HIV, STI, Drug, Alcohol and Pregnancy Prevention
  • Health Education (evidenced-based group interventions)
  • Drop-In (alternatives to risk behaviors during out of school time)
  • Mentoring
  • Academic Support and Remediation
  • Case Management
  • Internships/Vocational Skills Training
  • Community Outreach/Advocacy
  • Environmental Strategies
