CARY works with middle school and high school students for an entire year using an evidence based curriculum that renders outstanding outcomes such as:
- Improvement in academic performance
- Increased attendance
- Reduction of behavior referrals
- Improvement of campus safety
CARY’s Youth Advisers work directly with students and families to reduce youth violence and crime. School disciplinary acts are powerful predictors of future delinquency and criminality. CARY works with youth at a stage when intervention is most successful and the student’s school and learning experience can be turned around.
