Problem statement: Following detainment, court-involved youth of Central Harlem typically confront the same issues that led them to arrest in the first place. Evidence suggests that youth are likely to recidivate when they return to neighborhoods high in poverty, crime, and unemployment – yet post-release education or employment reduces likelihood. Court-involved youth need assistance improving their literacy skills and employability so that better education and employment opportunities decrease the likelihood of recidivism.
