Marginalized people are facing multiple challenges. A holistic approach is needed to build skills and resiliency. ​

ABOUT US

IARC GOALS...

We rely on a holistic approach that gives equal weight to social, cultural, spiritual, and economic dimensions by designing comprehensive strategies to help vulnerable individuals become productive community members.
Vulnerable groups face multiple challenges. A holistic approach is needed to build social/life skills and resiliency.

Specifically, IARC will coordinate research activities in the following three centers:

Hope for a Brighter Future Academy – “Youth Center”

Juvenile Offenders Center

Reentrants/Parents Center

​​WHAT WE DO...

An Interdisciplinary group of academics and practitioners decided to initiate a longitudinal action research project aimed at determining and assessing evidence-based interventions targeting the reentrant, unsheltered neighbor, veteran, and chemically-dependent population's successful reentry into society.
IARC promotes an innovative, comprehensive, and practical approach to action research combining three target populations: children who experienced severe trauma, juvenile offenders, and reentrants. The concept builds a foundation of support networks based on specialized education, training, mentoring, job placement, academic advising, college prep, and other practical interventions.
