Our mission is to promote meaningful and sustained well being for children, teens, and adults facing educational, developmental, mental health, and other challenges.
Our program for which we seek donation of tickets is our Detention Diversion Advocacy Program (DDAP) which operate in Hampden County's juvenile courts. DDAP works to reduce the disproporionate number of minority youth arraigned through the juvenile court system. Offered through Suffolk and Hampden Counties' Juvenile Courts, judges refer youth to DDAP at their discretion. The program provides community-based support and supervision and helps youth establish positive goals and live to their fullest potential. We serve all ethnicities, cultures, secual orientations, and gender identities, offering inclusive and equitable services to all youth, including LGBTQIA+ youth. Our youth advocates provide intensive support, including accompanying youth to schedules court dates, participating in school visists, providing employment assistance, and facilitating enrichment and recreational activities.
