Youth Advocate Program

The Youth Advocate Program (YAP) is a high-impact nonprofit organization established in 1975, dedicated to providing community-based services as alternatives to youth incarceration and residential placements. With a commitment to keeping families together, YAP implements individualized, intensive support through its evidence-based YAPWrap model across urban, suburban, and rural communities in 33 states and the District of Columbia.

Focusing on behavioral health, child welfare, and youth justice, YAP addresses complex individual and family challenges through their no reject, no eject policy, ensuring accessibility for all youth and their families. By partnering with public safety initiatives and advocating for systemic change, YAP promotes positive outcomes and community safety while empowering individuals to redirect their lives.
