Since its founding, RYI has provided community-based, non-residential services to area youth and currently provides diverse programming that is designed specifically to meet the varying needs of the clients. RYI operates most of its programming Monday thru Friday from 9am to 7pm from seven different locations, although one operates during evening and night hours. See below for a description of each of RYI’s programs.
The Edge ProgramThe Edge provides adolescents (and their families) who are involved with the Department of Children and Families with support to meet specific goals including intensive direct advocacy by connecting families to long-term services in their communities, serving as mediators between families and the court system, and providing innovative center-based groups and workshops to enhance the social and psycho skills of the clients. West Roxbury Community Re-entry Center (CRC)The west roxbury crc works with youth who are transitioning from DYS secure treatment facilities and residential placements back to their home in the communities of West Roxbury, Hyde Park, Roslindale, Mattapan and Jamaica Plain. This structured reintegration process provides youth with intensive supervision and support to make a positive transition. Dorchester Community Re-entry Center (CRC)The dorchester community crc provides DYS involved youth with the skills, advocacy, and support they need to reduce recidivism and delinquent behaviors. This is accomplished by helping youth build healthy one-to-one relationships with caring adults, by youth attending meetings of groups such as life skills group, young men’s/women’s group, substance abusers group, violent offenders group, sexual offenders group, and by DCRC staff conducting curfew checks and providing advocacy for program youth in court and in employment. Roxbury Community Re-entry Center (CRC)The roxbury community crc provides similar services as those at the West Roxbury Community Re-entry Center. It provides services to youth who are transitioning from DYS secure treatment facilities and residential placements back to their home in the Roxbury community. This structured reintegration process provides youth with intensive supervision and support to make a positive transition. Female Focus Initiative (FFI)FFI, the first female (youth) re-entry program, is a partnership with the Department of Youth Services, the Boston Coalition, the Ella J. Baker House, and the Boston Police Department. Recognizing that the majority of community-based juvenile delinquency prevention/intervention programs are mainly populated and geared toward young men, many young women tend to fall between the cracks. FFI provides effective programming (recreational, educational, and cultural) for young women who are involved in the juvenile justice system. A Way Back (AWB)AWB was started in 2002 to specifically meet the needs of Boston youth 11 to 18 years of age who are involved in, at risk for involvement in, or in recovery from sexual exploitation. The program uses RYI’s trademark services (advocacy, case management, programming, and outreach) to become their link to a healthy, responsible care-taker with resources to offer them.
