Youth Literacy Program for Juvenile Hall

When these kids are sneaking their books into class, that's incredible;  then you know the program has been a success.  I love it.

           - Steve Karrass, Principal at Juvenile Hall Court Schools

When I was not in this program, I couldn't understand what I was reading because there were some words that I didn't know the meaning of.  It also made me think more about what I want to be and about going to college someday.  If this program were not here, I probably would still be the same and would never think about college.
