Holistic Diversion
Engaging & supporting youth through basic living skills, case management & career development
As House-Raising's core program, Holistic Diversion works collaboratively with the youth, family and community through four pillars of intervention: Business Apprenticeship, Court & Case Oversight, Family Support, and Education.
Business Apprenticeship
Pairing a youth with an arts or trades-based business for a year to understand hands on business management while obtaining an in-demand skill.
Education
The opportunity for youth to obtain a GED or engage in credit recovery while learning basic living skills, financial literacy and entrepreneurship skills. Education component is paired with a monthly theme topic mentor businesses teach on the job.
Court & Case Oversight
Case Management designed to oversee engagement and compliance with program and court expectations while providing additional resources and services for the youth.
Family Support
Providing specific support, services, and guidance to the family unit to better address barriers when working with their child. These barriers are not limited to just their child but understanding a family’s day to day stressors that are negatively impacting the entire family.
What We Do
We connect with at-risk youth, ages 14 to 25, involved in the legal system by providing a yearlong positive intervention that will give the youth hands-on skills and tools while providing, expanding, and deepening community connections. Attention is given to addressing all barriers which could or have directly contributed the youth to be involved in the legal system. Special focus in supporting a youth’s family will be provided to assist the family in better identifying and addressing challenges their child is facing; ultimately strengthening the youth’s overall intervention.
