About Our Program:

The purpose of the After Care Resource Navigator Program is to increase positive outcomes for youth who are reentering the community from a residential commitment facility by identifying and establishing relationships with resources that address the service needs of youth and families, connecting youth served by the Program and their families with the appropriate resources to address their specific service needs.
