Family Support - Successful programs for troubled youth depend on the active participation and support of families. While many parents seek to participate in classes, conference and workshops dealing with positive parenting, they lack the financial means. Family scholarship support helps to cover registration, transportation, childcare costs.

Professional Support - Although many businesses support their employees with tuition assistance programs, professionals in the education, juvenile justice and mental health fields rarely receive such benefits. Tuition aid and professional scholarship support helps to cover university tuition costs, as well as conference and workshop registration and transportation costs not covered by employers.

Tara Reilly Memorial Scholarship - The Tara Reilly Memorial Scholarship honors a bright young woman who was murdered at age 18. The scholarship is available to a junior, senior or graduate student in special education, juvenile justice, mental health or a related field who is committed to working with children and youth with behavioral challenges. It is our hope that more people will choose to work with children and youth with behavioral problems so that we can end the type of senseless behavior that took Tara's life.
