Programs
At Identity, we focus on the prevention of behaviors before they occur. Positive Youth Development (PYD) is the foundation of our initiatives. It is a highly successful science-based approach that views vulnerable adolescents as assets to be nurtured rather than problems to be fixed.
Our programs provide youth with knowledge, positive role models, much needed support, and a strong sense of community. Through these culturally and linguistically robust programs youth learn valuable skills that they will use throughout their lifetimes and that will facilitate their successful transition into adulthood.
