Freedom High

Abstract

In this paper, I am proposing an alternative education high school for youth involved in the juvenile justice system, Freedom High. Freedom High combines counseling, family involvement, positive youth development, and education to promote desistance. The first section of the paper is a literature review that details how counseling, family involvement, positive youth development, and education combat juvenile recidivism. The second section details how Freedom High will incorporate each method into the school and lower reoffense rates.
