WHY JYA IS UNIQUE

One of the reasons for our success at JYA is the high level of staff involvement. The staff does not work with the girls for an eight hour shift and then go home. Rather, they live with the girls, eat with them, participate in PE with them, tutor them, and take part in all the other student activities. This constant interaction between the staff and the girls allows the staff members to quickly develop a deep relationship with the students. It is because of these close relationships that trust is built very quickly between the girls and the staff. The staff can then effectively show the girls the ways in which they need to change.

The amount of parental involvement is another unique aspect of our program. Parents are required to attend parent training and support meetings twice a month near our main office if they live within a 100 mile radius. The parents also attend a parent support group each time they visit their child at the JYA campus. Parents also attend a seminar, which lasts two-and-a-half days, two times a year for additional training and support. This type of parental involvement in the family's healing process allows for the child to return to an environment that is set up for her success when she has completed the program. The parents' investment in the program encourages their daughter to be invested in the program as well. The more involved the parents are, the higher the chances are for the child's success.

Perhaps the biggest difference at JYA is our insistence on maintaining a Christian foundation without forcing Christianity on our students. The decision to become a Christian or rededicate their lives to God is completely up to the students. The level system that JYA employs in rewarding the students is not affected by the student's willingness or lack of willingness to have God in their lives.

We also take the approach of teaching the students to make the right choices on their own rather than telling them or pressuring them to act a certain way. Our desire is to teach the child to take ownership of her decisions. This encourages a healthy and independent mentality that will stay with the students after they have completed their time at JYA rather than enabling a dependency on others.
