NYTC’s mission is to promote positive value change to the youth served through a balanced, team-centered and strength based approach.
In an effort to help improve the future of at risk youth, NYTC utilizes Forward Thinking, a cognitive behavioral program model. The program utilizes evidence-based strategies and interactive journaling to assist youth in making positive changes in their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Youth participate in individual journaling sessions and group discussions; improving communication skills and learning to work as a team.
