A Proven Method
CASASTARTSM offers high-risk youth a proven strategy to lead healthy and successful lives.
CASASTARTSM is a comprehensive program that keeps high-risk children in school, out of the legal system and off harmful substances, saving millions of dollars for state and local governments. CASASTARTSM creates a ripple effect throughout the community—families grow stronger, schools get better, and neighborhoods become safer.
The program's rigorous evaluation shows that young people who participate in CASASTARTSM are more likely to be promoted to the next grade, less likely to use or sell drugs, less likely to be involved in violent behavior and less likely to associate with or be influenced by their peers’ delinquent behavior.
