Welcome

Rite of Passage is a leading national provider of programs and opportunities for troubled and at-risk youth from social services, welfare agencies and juvenile courts. For over 25 years, we have developed and operated a continuum of programs based on the needs of youth and our placing agencies. Our programs include community-based services, day schools, academic-model facilities, gender-specific treatment and secure facilities. With our emphasis on evidence-based practices and positive skill development, combined with our supportive therapeutic approach, our organization is highly respected by industry experts – and a highly effective solution for our youth.

Our organization also strives to be a solution for public agencies. Through our successful public/private partnerships, Rite of Passage ensures our array of quality services meet juvenile justice system needs. We provide a safe, programmatically rich, cost effective program with positive outcomes for youth. Our facilities are licensed, accredited and meet the highest standards and requirements of our industry. Meeting the students' needs and ensuring their health, safety and welfare is a key to our success. Only within this context of a safe and supportive environment can long-lasting behavioral changes be instilled.
