The City of Atlanta has partnered with the Atlanta Police Foundation (APF) to operate three At-Promise centers—a youth crime diversion program serving youth across the city. Each youth who attends the program receives a therapeutic assessment to determine their individualized plan of services to include GED/education assistance, workforce prep and/or recreation activities. APF works with more than 30 social service agencies who apply the appropriate professional expertise to each individual case, ensuring relevance and a personalized approach. The At-Promise initiative has been in operation since August 2017, serving more than 1,700 youth. The services provided include individual therapy, group therapy, educational assistance including tutoring, mentoring and GED classes, testing, workforce prep, arts instruction in music and filmmaking, as well as recreational activities.
