Y2Y’s goals are to foster a commitment to young people that will promote pro-social friendships, strong interpersonal skills, life skills, and reassert a sense of hope in the future.  Through personal interaction and relationships a sense of individual responsibility and self esteem re-established in high risk and at risk youth, building the commitment to follow through  their next phase of development with a sense of pride and accomplishment.

Through the development of destructive habits and repeated failures at home, in the community and in the classroom, at-risk young people have lost faith in the possibilities that await them if they are successful in putting their lives together.  To accomplish this goal,young people must be in a caring, inclusive learning environment which promotes their best effort and reinforces personal respect and responsibility.
