Address by Robert Maccarone at the Preventing Recidivism Panel at the "Reducing Youth Violence in New York State" conference - 2008
Justice Fellowship applauds the work of The Urban Passage, a faith-based non-profit organization that works with adjudicated youth to lessen the impact of their incarceration and provide them with the life skills critical for success upon release. To perform this mission, The Urban Passage:
- Inspires the youth with a biblical foundation
- Stabilizes the youth with a development and academic curriculum
- Re-introduces the youth to the community through a community-mentoring program
Please consider supporting The Urban Passage as they further their passion to see adjudicated youth transformed by Christ. For more information, please visit their website.
