Outreach
Trouble Team
Some boys need more than a camp. They need someone who keeps calling when nobody else does. That is what our outreach work is for — reaching young men who are struggling and bringing them back into something good.
How it works
Reaching the boys who need us most
Outreach is not a separate charity program bolted onto the camp. It is how boys get in and how they stay.
We notice
A boy stops showing up, or a family reaches out to us. Either way, it starts with someone paying attention instead of letting him disappear.
We show up
A familiar adult connects with him and with his family, in his neighborhood, on his terms. No lecture. A conversation.
We bring him back in
He rejoins the group — sports, activities, the self-control sessions — with a mentor who already knows his name and his situation.
We stay with him
Through the season and past it. The point is not a single camp week; it is a young man who knows there is somebody in his corner.
No boy is a lost cause
Every voice matters. If you know a young man in New Haven who could truly benefit from this program, call us. We are ready to listen, and here to help.
Bring him into the program
Every application gets read by a real person on our team. Tell us about your son and we will take it from there.
