YARAE WORKS!
WELCOME TO YARAE WORKS FOR YOU!
Youth Academic Retention Achievement Excellence is a nonprofit organization that specializes in Restorative Practices, and in Social Emotional Learning by providing the wrap-around services needed for Students Wellness and Success with PBIS planning and implementation. Our mission is to help students with failing grades and poor attendance, achieve academic excellence.
WHAT WE DO!
YARAE Works specializes in Behavior Modification. We build relationship rapports within the social climate of the educational program, while observing student behaviors to ensure that they are striving to meet all of the schools’ expectation that have been set with:
· Social Emotional Learning in a classroom/environmental setting: Direct and one-on- one support services to students throughout the entire school day by correcting and redirecting inappropriate behaviors with positive strategies.
· Restorative Practices in an encore group setting: Ongoing mentorship with curriculum based educational prevention and intervention services; reimplementing the core values that have been set in each schools’ social climate with the basic and essential life skills needed for a successful future.
We provide the extraneous supports that are necessary for the academic professional and daily living successes of students who are not only at risk, but are also lacking in motivational support, encouragement, and guidance toward becoming productive members of society. We help to overcome any predispositions that they may have or have been exposed to that could hinder their individual success.
WHO WE ARE!
Our program focuses on urban, at-risk, elementary, middle and high school students to prepare them for successful graduation and post-secondary achievement through the use of engagement specialist services. We believe that this unique archetype of students requires support beyond the general educational standards.
Our Engagement Specialists are student liaisons who celebrate, monitor and guide student success in: school, interpersonal relationships, intrapersonal relationships, and professional or vocational objectives. We use surveys, anecdotal evidence, academic progress, work samples, and behavioral observations to collect data related to the three-tier scaffold of mentoring that we provide to the students.
Our goal is to make the connections between behavior and performance in academia, and in the working world that students will join after graduation.
Our Youth Diversion Program
Our Youth Diversion Program is a prevention and intervention Restorative Practice specialty program that redirects youth away from formal processing in the Juvenile Justice System, while still holding them accountable for their actions. Our intervention specialty program includes, but is not limited to: Truancy, Gang Violence/Affiliation, Substance Engagement/Abuse, Physical Altercations, Bullying/Cyber Bullying, Digital Interactions, Sex Education and Health, Peer Influences, Academic Re-engagement, Mild Disorderly Conduct and Unruly Behaviors.

We provide the extraneous supports that are necessary for the academic, professional and daily living successes of students who are not only at risk, but are also lacking in motivational support, encouragement and guidance toward becoming productive members of society. We help them to overcome any predispositions that they may have or have been exposed to that could hinder their individual success.
