| A very small group of kids
under age 10 have already started committing crimes. These kids
are heading down a dangerous path. Research tells us that without
immediate, intensive, and ongoing help, they are likely to drop
out of school, abuse drugs and alcohol, commit violent crimes,
and eventually become career criminals. Not surprisingly, these
kids come from chaotic and dysfunctional homes where poverty,
criminal activity, violence, distrust, and anger are the norm.
Despite these obstacles, we believe that these kids deserve
a chance to change. So we commit to stay with them for the
long term and work closely with them in all areas of their
lives. We help them control their temper, learn how to solve
problems, and connect with people. We encourage them to participate
in activities that give them a chance to make friends and
learn new skills. We work with the schools to ensure that
they are attending school, completing their homework, behaving
in class, and following directions. We support the family
in managing and solving crises. By doing all of this, we help
these kids choose a different path – one that gives
them the opportunity to succeed.
All Children Excel Program Outcomes: |
- The ACE Program currently works

with the program more than 6 months, 65% have had
no further contact with the police or court system.
