YAP continually evolves services to meet new needs that emerge for youth involved within the juvenile justice system, but most of our programming is designed for the purposes below. Diversion: to divert youth from formal system involvement. Pre-Adjudication: to prevent formal detention while ensuring community safety. Post-Adjudication: to prevent incarceration in prisons, jails or other residential or secure facilities. Re-Entry: to promote safety and support to youth transitioning back to the community from institutional placement.
