| About us | Our evidence-based intervention model engages the high-risk, 17-24 year-old in a long-term process of behavior change and skill building opportunities. With two years of intensive engagement and two years of less intensive follow-up. Roca’s Intervention Model provides a robust combination of services, including relentless street outreach, data-driven case management, stage-based education and employment training. Ultimately, our goal for these young people is to help them get off the streets, reduce their involvement in crime, stay out of jail and get jobs. |
