Since 1993, Young Ladies of Tomorrow, Inc. (YLOT) has worked with pre-adolescent and teenage girls (ages 14-17) who have become involved in the juvenile justice system. In hopes of redirecting their course toward meaningful and productive futures, YLOT offers counseling, therapeutic recreation, job training, mentorship, and other services/opportunities for its participants. When a girl comes to YLOT, the first objective is to identify the root of her “issue.” Through relevant, creative, and personalized potential solutions, YLOT helps each participant work through prior emotional and/or physical abuse, intimacy with street life, teen pregnancy, addiction, or poor self-esteem. YLOT seeks to reduce recidivism, detention rates, and the number of program participants receiving referrals for service in the juvenile justice system.
