Using OJJDP funds, Olive Crest will implement an Independent Living Skills (ILS) Program for At-risk Youth. The program is designed for at-risk youth in Orange County and Inland Empire. The ILS Program will serve over 300 at-risk youth annually with goal of ninety percent (90%) of the youth entering this program graduating from high school or achieving their GED and going into higher education or to a trade school.
