We assess youth needs by convening community planning groups, identifying problems and strengths and developing coordinated strategies to address them. We promote private and public partnerships in planning, bringing together towns, villages, cities, social agencies and private citizens including youth. We are a partner with the local division system for youth, identified as Persons in Need of Supervision (PINS), and the comprehensive services for runaway and homeless youth. We support the local Balance and Restorative Justice collaboration, Aggression Replacement Training (ART) and Safe School Ambassadors.
