This project will expand our work with young people in East LA and Pasadena who are re-entering from criminal justice settings and those aging out of foster care. We will implement a life-skills curriculum to help participants access housing, education, and employment in their communities; educate them about harm reduction methods related to drug and alcohol use; and offer fun, pro-social activities where they can develop an alternative peer group that supports their health and wellness.
