YBGR creates a unique approach to creating healing and healthy relationships. This model allows us to provide character training with and without religious components.
Our faith-based activities are voluntary. We recognize and respect the diversity of faith which clients follow. If a family or youth requests to attend a service or group other than what we provide, we will make every effort to make other arrangements. If a client requests a spiritual mentor from a specific faith, we do our best to discover and pair a mentor with the youth.
