 The Linkage Project:  A statewide advocacy and education campaign designed to increase individual and community awareness of the strong link between human cruelty and animal violence. For the latest information on the link, visit www.linkageproject.org.

Starting Point: This innovative series allows kids in our programs to explore job and career opportunities through a unique partnership with local businesses.  Our goal is to expose every teenager we serve, no matter how long they reside in one of our residences, to the possibilities that are out there for them.  Teens from several of our programs attend regularly scheduled sessions where they hear presentations from representatives of various businesses throughout the region.

Parents as Partners: Parent led support program for reuniting parents with their children.
