Truancy Advocate Specialist

Youth Advocate Programs has developed a flexible Truancy Intervention Program tailored to the needs of urban, suburban, and rural schools. We serve youth facing the most complex challenges, including court-involved juveniles, special needs students, and those living in low-income housing. Our goal is to re-engage students at high risk of school failure through compassionate advocacy and personalized support.

Our population includes students who may be:

• At risk of expulsion or suspension
• Failing due to challenges at home
• Struggling with behavioral issues
• Returning from juvenile detention
• Chronically truant
• Experiencing school phobia or bullying
• Involved in substance abuse
• Emotionally or developmentally challenged
