HELPING INSIDE CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE OUTSIDE!

Each One Reach One's ADAPT (A Dream and A Plan for Tomorrow) matches caring community members with detained youth at Youth Services Center in San Mateo and Juvenile Justice Center in San Francisco.

Mentors provide weekly, one-on-one, two-hour tutoring sessions for the duration of the teens' detainment in Juvenile Hall. Depending on individual needs, mentors tutor their students and help them earn their high school diploma, pass the GED ( General education Development - an alternative to the high school diploma, or the exit exam.

Mentors will also assist detained teens to create a post-release plan that will help them succeed in a life beyond Juvenile Hall. Giving these teens a positive role model is an invaluable service. The goal of the Study Hall is to help detainees achieve academic success as well as learn new life-skills enabling them to become productive community members.
