about

AIM:

​

IAMTVOLCO aims to:

  • Provide Wrap-around (all encompassing) Pre-entry services that steer youth away from the negative and toward the positive.

  • To interrupt the "school-to-prison pipeline" that disproportionately affects underserved communities.

  • To provide a safe haven space for our clients where they can get access to opportunities not otherwise afforded to them.

  • Be the difference for New Haven area youth and families who are facing daunting challenges and adversity, in navigating the daily pressures intensified by the fallout from COVID-19, substance misuse and addiction, persistent violence, enduring poverty, incarceration, mental illness, and the burden of generation trauma. None of these conditions alone, are easy to deal with, however, these conditions are combined double, triple or quadruple fold.

GOAL:

​

To provide alternatives and solutions to social issues and concerns that lead to wrong choices and poor decisions.

Drawing from own life experiences, our community advocates, case workers, life coaches and coordinators work tirelessly with these youths and families to help them face their challenges proactively. 

“Thank you, Leighton Johnson, for your continued support throughout my son (Khalil) court case.  Having your ongoing support meant the world to us and also gave the courts an alternative to consider. I would not have been able to navigate the system on my own."
