What is an at-risk child?
In our program, an at-risk child is defined as a young person who is either 1) fatherless, 2) living in a single-parent home, 3) has been referred through a social service agency, or 4) has a parent that is incarcerated or on parole. Of the boys and girls we currently serve, over 80 percent of them are being raised without the influence of their father.
