Youth Empowerment

Juvenile Justice Services

Guiding Youth Beyond Justice Involvement

For youth who are struggling and on the verge of entering the juvenile justice system, safety and guidance can significantly impact the trajectory of their lives. 

If your child is picked up by local law enforcement, we provide a safe space for them to wait at our Arise Youth Center—an alternative to juvenile detention. We offer comprehensive screenings and can connect your family with community resources designed to turn the situation around, helping not only keep your child out of the justice system but also strengthen your family, ensuring a brighter and more positive future where your child can thrive.
 



Arise Youth Center

Our Arise Youth Center partners with local law enforcement to offer the following services:
 

Reception Center

Youth can be transported by law enforcement to a safe, secure environment until an approved guardian can pick them up.
 

Shelter Care

If returning home isn’t an option, Shelter Care offers 24/7 care for up to 30 days.
 

Runaway & Homeless Youth Services

We offer support and resources for runaway, homeless, or at-risk youth. Youth can stay in Shelter Care for up to 21 days.
 

Evening Report Center

The Evening Report Center allows youth to remain in the community while receiving ongoing services and support.
 

Runaway and homeless youth services are available through Basic Center Federal Grant #90CY6684-01-00 from Administration for Children and Families.
