Youth Advocate programs

Youth Advocate Programs (YAP) is a nonpartisan national nonprofit organization founded in 1975 that provides community-based services as alternatives to youth incarceration and residential placements. With a focus on promoting accountability and positive outcomes, YAP addresses complex individual and family challenges through its innovative YAPWrap model.

Operating in urban, suburban, and rural communities across 33 states and the District of Columbia, YAP collaborates with youth justice, child welfare, and other public systems to deliver evidence-based services that reduce recidivism and enhance community safety. Their commitment to holistic, individualized support empowers young people and families to overcome challenges while fostering safer neighborhoods and promoting positive change.
