Youth Advocate Program

The Youth Advocate Program (YAP) is a high-impact nonprofit organization that has been serving communities since 1975, providing community-based alternatives to youth incarceration and residential placements. YAP's innovative wraparound services address complex individual and family challenges, promoting accountability and positive outcomes through a commitment to keeping families together and enhancing public safety.

Operating in urban, suburban, and rural communities across 33 states and the District of Columbia, YAP emphasizes a no reject, no eject policy, ensuring access for all youth and families in need. By collaborating with various public systems, YAP has established itself as a change leader, effectively reducing recidivism and neighborhood violence through individualized support and advocacy.
