About the Youth

The social environment in which many youths live today has substantially increased the likelihood that they will become delinquent or experience other negative outcomes. Mental illnesses, substance abuse, truancy, school dropout, poverty, learning disorders, racism, child abuse, neglect, and youth victimization all negatively impact the development of our nation's youth.

The violent crime rate among juveniles has increased sharply over the past few years. According to the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention's (OJJDP) newly released report, Juvenile Offenders and Victims: A National Report, by the year 2010, the juvenile population 10 to 17 years old is projected to increase more than 20 percent.

The youths of Jay's House, Inc., will continually advance their understanding of reality and become more capable of participating in the development of the world.
