“Reaching the Unreachable: Motivating Incarcerated and
At-Risk Youth with the WhyTry Program“
Every young person deserves a chance to change their story.
For youth who are incarcerated, on probation, or navigating the transition back into school, that opportunity can seem out of reach. But what if we could meet them where they are—with tools that foster hope, resilience, and human connection?
Join us for a free webinar that explores how the WhyTry Program is being used across the country to transform the lives of justice-involved and high-risk youth. Whether you work in juvenile justice, alternative education, school reentry programs, mental health services, or community-based youth support, this session will equip you with insights and tools to better reach the youth who need us most.
