Young Adult Center

SUPPORT FOR JUSTICE-INVOLVED YOUNG ADULTS

Outreach – Center for Community Resources addresses young adult justice-involved issues in northeastern Pennsylvania by providing individuals ages 14-21 and their family with a support system. We provide job skills training, workforce development services, and other supportive services to justice-involved young adults.

Our trained case managers develop a customized plan with each young adult participant. Referrals and connections are provided to wraparound services from community human services partners that provide the support needed to assist in gaining the skills necessary to stay out of prison, and to obtain family stability and economic self-sufficiency.

We serve young adults in our region by providing a network of support, education, guidance, and a reason to believe they can improve their lives and forge a new path of success free of involvement with the justice system.
