Alum Rock Counseling Center

San Jose , California

Cause Description:
Since 1974, Alum Rock Counseling Center has addressed the damage of family conflict, school failure and criminal activity among high-risk youth, producing responsible community members and a healthier, more vibrant East San Jose.   ARCC offers practical, proven solutions to families when they need them most. Our services include counseling, crisis intervention, mentoring, support groups, case management, after-school and alternative-to-incarceration programs. We employ a strategic service delivery system that is unique among service agencies, which places programs in homes, schools and community centers, to maximize their impact and effectiveness.   We embrace the youth of our community who are at highest risk for school failure and a life in the criminal justice system—youth that, in many cases, the rest of the community has written off.   ARCC programs are distinctively tailored to the needs of East San Jose families, and provide a personal touch to go with our professional expertise. And our staff and volunteers deliver outstanding, measurable results. For example, 96% of all youth served by our gang intervention program in the 2006 fiscal year successfully halted their involvement with the juvenile justice system or avoided it altogether. In that same time frame, 92% of all youth served by a mobile crisis response program did not require follow-up interventions by police or juvenile justice authorities.Our unparalleled combination of proven, successful programs and community-based service delivery produces outstanding, measurable results, which benefit East San Jose and all of Silicon Valley.
