 The NIA foster care
program provides comprehensive and intensive child
placement services, which include clinical and case management
activities. This program serves children from birth to twenty-years
old. The ultimate goal of the NIA program is to promote and achieve
permanency (reunification with parents and/or family members,
adoption or transition to independent living) for each of our
children and minimize their time in the foster care system, however,
as long as a child is in our care his or her safety and welfare is
our primary concern.

Project
UJIMA!
Project
Ujima is a mentoring program that targets youth between the ages of
11-17 who has an incarcerated parent.
This program seeks to reduce at-risk behavior in youth such
as drug use, teen pregnancy, school drop-out, and other delinquent
social behaviors. Through
strengthening self-identify, positive life choices, core cultural
values as well as collective work and responsibility, we provide
another means of self-development and expression. Teaching
youth positive self-esteem, self-worth, self-responsibility, and
academic excellence, our youth will have a stronger sense of their
role as well as their responsibility in the family and community.
