Providing youth an opportunity to restore themselves to a successful path is the origin story of Jacob's Ladder. Our Juvenile Re-entry Program reduces crime and recidivism. We serve juveniles pending release from detention centers or recently returning home. Our goal is to support youth with successful rehabilitation, help them develop a plan for their future, and to end destructive behaviors.

We provide youth with daily educational support throughout the year. Our enrichment programs include tutoring, SAT Prep, basic literacy skills attainment, confidence building, and mentoring. In addition, we engage youth with one-on-one support and provide small group instruction.
