We can create a societal savings of $30 billion.

How is this possible?

Statistics from 1998, show the overwhelming societal cost incurred for every (1) institutionalized youth. Thirty percent of these costs are victim expenses.

“The overall lifetime estimate per youth is $2.3 to $5.3 million”.

~Mark A. Cohen, Owen School of Management, Vanderbilt University
"The Monetary Value of Saving High-Risk Youth, published

Surveys of local Detention staff show that our programs have resulted in a reduction in recidivism. Over the years we have engaged with over 11,000 individuals. The lives of these youth will be forever changed, but what does this impact mean in terms of money in our communities?

10,000 kids X $3 Million = $30,000,000,000.00 savings to society, using current day costs.
