Jericho Partnership of Danbury
THE JERICHO 360 MODEL
For at-risk youth, the path to lifelong excellence is often unearthed by clearing the obstacles they face. Maybe it’s worrying about their next meal … or struggling at school … or dealing with crippling anxiety … or living in a household gripped by abuse, or with parents who don’t speak English and can’t help with schoolwork. Any of these challenges (and others) can derail youth, hinder their academic achievement, and prevent them from believing in their own potential. There’s no one-size-fits-all scenario when it comes to what challenges life brings. So there’s no one way to rise above them.
Jericho’s ministry to at-risk youth, and by extension their families, is designed to meet youth where they are, and — through relationship-building, creating a foundation of faith, and innovative 360-degree wraparound programming — address the things that stand between them and seeking a life of excellence.
We provide services, programs, and workshops that address students’ academic, physical, life-prep, social & emotional, and, perhaps most importantly, spiritual needs. We are fueled by compassionate donors and volunteers, who serve as tutors, mentors, workshop leaders, counselors, food pantry helpers, doctors and nurses, and more, all of whom breathe life into the ministry we are called by God to provide.
