With your purchases and donations we provide high quality programs that positively impact the youths in our care.
The young men we serve typically come from some of the most fractured and challenging parts of our city. Their families often face a myriad of issues including addiction, mental health issues, lack of education, poverty, violence, and domestic abuse. Some of these issues may preclude our clients from returning home upon release. We provide 24 hour care and monitoring, insure an educational plan is in place, report to the court, and provide programs and presentations that offer alternatives to recidivism. The goal is to work with these young men, within the community, to reduce criminogenic behaviors and further involvement in the criminal justice system.
The Nehemiah Project has worked to create innovative programming that addresses the unique needs of each client. By offering such diverse programming as Forgiveness for Teens, Cognitive Thinking training, Restorative Justice, Drug and Alcohol Awareness, Literacy Training,Employment Training, and others, we create an environment of positive change in lives that have been exposed to very few options and alternatives.
