We believe that : If young adults who are caught up in the school-to-prison pipeline are productively engaged in UTEC activities and supports for an extended period during the critical ages of 18-25, then by 25, they will have the skills and resilience they need to pursue their dreams and avoid further involvement in the criminal justice system.
