The Transformative Justice Project of Pennsylvania, New Jersey & Delaware

Introduction
Since its founding in 2003, The
Advocacy Foundation has become
recognized as an effective provider of
support to those who receive our
services, having real impact within the
communities we serve. We are
currently engaged in several
community and faith-based
collaborative initiatives, having the
overall objective of eradicating all
forms of youth violence. We
accomplish this by promoting
evidence-based Multidisciplinary
programs and services including, but by no means limited to: In-School and Afterschool Prevention &
Intervention activities, Parenting programs, Mentoring, Internships & Community Service activities,
Academic and Vocational Prep programs, Tutorial and Remedial curricula, and purposeful activities for
Senior Citizens.
Moreover, it is our most fundamental belief that in order to be effective, Prevention and Intervention
strategies must be Community Specific, Culturally Relevant, Evidence-Based, and Collaborative. The
Multidisciplinary programming we employ in implementing and carrying-out this community-fortifying
work includes all the programs further described herein, and several additional projects that are “On The
Drawing Board” for future implementation.
We also indirectly support, and contribute to, the adopted evidence-based strategic Gang Prevention Best
Practices framework developed by the Office of Juvenile Justice & Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP):
Community Mobilization, Social Intervention, Provision of Opportunities, Organizational Change &
Development, and Suppression [of illegal activities].
Our cornerstone programs are:

Although our main Prevention/ Intervention models were originally designed for African-American
youth, the models have been adapted to a multi-cultural, as well as multidisciplinary, format. Today,
Building Resilient Youth – A Multidisciplinary Approach (BRY-AMA) services young people and adults
of all different races and cultures. The models empower and enable youth and adults, males and females,
to appreciate different cultures as well as their own.
