Other Programs that Help At-Risk Youth

There are many worthwhile programs in the Denver Metro Area that help keep our youth active in positive life activities and keeps them off the street. When area youths actually get into trouble, there are also programs which help educate, rehabilitate, and re-introduce these youths into more positive and productive environments. Finally, its always good to talk to your elected officials to let them know what your thoughts are concerning gang recruitment and activity and to hear what they are doing to help alleviate those problems. Below is a list of phone numbers, websites, and contact information for these various programs and institutions:
