Faith and Action: Implementation of the National Faith-Based Initiative for High Risk Youth

by Alvia Y. Branch
July 2002, 70 pages


P/PV's long-standing interest in whether faith-based institutions could serve as vehicles for the delivery of social programming for youth who have committed juvenile or criminal offenses led to the development of the National Faith-Based Initiative for High-Risk Youth. Faith and Action documents the efforts of the 15 faith-based organizations that participated in this initiative. These organizations entered into partnership with the justice community in order to recruit high-risk youth and provide them with services such as education, employment and mentoring. The report also documents the role that faith plays in the delivery of these services and makes observations about the capacity of these organizations to implement programs for youth.
