ENRICHMENT PROGRAM FOR YOUTH
The Juvenile Detention Enrichment Program provides youth ages 12-18 with an outlet for physical and emotional expression, encourages positive social skills, and creates an opportunity to work with other youth and staff in a different and positive manner.
Operating inside the Connecticut Juvenile Detention Centers, services include
- Art
- Music
- Yoga
- Dance
- Pet therapy
- Youth development
The participants benefit by developing coping skills and experiencing healthy interactions that can continue after their release. Our goal is to help these young people redirect their energies in positive ways, giving them the tools they need to succeed.
