CARY (Council for At Risk Youth) is a non-profit organization based in Austin, Texas, dedicated to empowering at-risk youth with the necessary skills to avoid crime and violence. Through their evidence-based Youth Violence Prevention Curriculum, CARY provides life skills training, counseling, and confidence-building field trips to students who are at the highest risk of becoming involved in the school-to-prison pipeline. With a focus on serving the highest-risk students in Central Texas, CARY aims to divert graduates from the juvenile justice system, reduce behavioral referrals, increase school attendance, and improve academic performance. By offering services that are not available elsewhere, CARY plays a crucial role in giving these young individuals a second chance and showing them that there are people who genuinely care about their well-being.Generated from the website
