Our CHOiCE Program is a diversionary intervention program that uses a cognitive-behavioral approach to help our youth understand how their thoughts and feelings influence their behaviors. They also learn how to identify and change the destructive thought patterns that have a negative effect on their emotions and behaviors. 

 In the last 10 years, we have served hundreds of youth and helped them take responsibility for their actions and find their way back to stability and change.

* 70% success rate, (reducing recidivism)

* Many youths go on to higher education.

* Our youth go on to live productive and fulfilling lives.

* Are able to find their voice and their purpose for living.

In David's own words:

“I am quiet and a friend

I wonder about what will happen after my situation is resolved

I hear people talking about me

I see people acting in a way they are not

I want to be free

I am quiet and a friend

 

I pretend to be shy

I feel not being me brings me down

I touch the sky

I worry about my family

I cry for my brother

I am quiet and a friend

 

I understand what I did was wrong

I say what I did was wrong

I dream about better days

I try to keep a good imagine

I hope my future goes well

I am quiet and a friend.”

 (The poem was written by David, one of our most recent graduates. David is a success story and will be attending Clark-Atlanta University in the fall. Pictured in the above photo, on the far right side).
