The Future of YAP
Drawing from our experiences over the past three decades, YAP will provide community-based programming to meet 21st century challenges. The need for YAP's time-tested, individualized approach is evident in the increasingly complex issues faced by children and families. In the new millennium, YAP will employ its wraparound/advocacy model in creative ways to address:
- School Issues (violence, truancy, alternatives to out-of-school suspensions)
- Juvenile Crime and Delinquency
- Emotional/Behavioral Health
- Job Readiness and Life Skills Development
- Dependent Child and Family Needs
- Supportive Services for AIDS/HIV Youth and Families
- Needs of Autistic and other Special Needs Children
- Needs of Native Americans residing on reservations
- Other needs for individualized wraparound intervention
