ASPiRE intervention program

The ASPiRE intervention program is designed to equip residents with the necessary tools to combat gang involvement, foster positive healthy relationships, develop and increase the use of pro-social skills, and promote a successful and productive life. This initiative is designed for residents who are currently housed at Bon Air Juvenile Correctional Center and who have been identified as a suspected gang-involved youth, an associate of gang-involved youth, a gang-affiliated youth, or a validated gang member. Residents who qualify for this program must be ambivalent about change and have a high interest in participating. The program is comprised of three phases that the residents have the opportunity to advance their way through before successful completion of the program.
