Without the help from DDAP I would have stayed locked up, and would have fallen way behind in my schoolwork – who knows what would have happened.

Because of you: our Courageous kids are healing and growing

When 15-year-old Emilio was first introduced to the Detention Diversion Advocacy Program (DDAP), he was in a tough spot. His mom had recently gotten married, and there was major friction between Emilio and his new stepmother. With this new change had come confusion and frustration for Emilio, and he was struggling to deal with his feelings about all of it.

DDAP Youth Advocate Rafael first met Emilio in juvenile court where he was facing assault and battery charges for taking his frustration out physically on his mother. After listening to the full story, the judge referred Emilio to DDAP rather than sending him to detention – a course that could negatively affect his life for years to come.

Rafael got to know Emilio, and together they created a plan for him to stay with his grandmother until things cooled down at home. After getting him settled, Rafael helped Emilio re-engage in school, and they began work on resolving issues with his mom. Emilio took this process seriously and, slowly but surely, things did get better.

Emilio was still living with his grandmother when he successfully fulfilled his commitment to DDAP and the courts. His Youth Advocate felt he would need support through the transition back to home and recommended that Emilio participate in DDAP’s Mentoring Program, offered to youth who have successfully completed DDAP and would benefit from additional support. Emilio did an incredible amount of work to get himself to a place where he could make the move home, and indeed, he did!

Since reuniting with his mom, Emilio has made the honor roll, has become the manager of his Our Kids: high school basketball team, and works part time at a sneaker store after school – all thanks to EmilioDDAP his work with his Youth Advocate and Mentor.

I didn’t have it easy, but I was lucky to have people in my life at critical times. I do this work now so I can be the adult that I needed in my life. Because of you: our Courageous staff are by their side

Dani has chosen this line of work for a reason: she’s been there. And working at Robert F. Kennedy Children’s Action Corps is her chance to pay it forward.

As a young person, Dani witnessed severe domestic violence in her home. School, and especially sports, became her safe place. It was there that Dani made what she credits as life-saving connections with teammates and coaches.

It was her basketball coach who she trusted enough to call when she needed help, and her teammate’s parents who agreed to take Dani in and become her foster parents so she could finish high school. These key people were there for Dani when she had no one else to turn to, and she’s not sure where she would be without them.

Dani has built a remarkable life and career around paying that forward. Today she is a mother of seven, and has fostered 19 youth as a foster parent over the past twenty years.

In 2009 Dani was hired as a per diem staff and quickly moved to Overnight Supervisor. She completed her bachelor’s degree last spring, and was subsequently promoted to Assistant Program Director where she is now using her knowledge and life experience to help support teens on their journey as they heal and grow.

“I didn’t have it easy, but I was lucky to have people in my life at critical times. I do this work now so I can be the adult that I needed in my life.” Dani’s story inspires us all and we are very proud to have her on the RFK Team! Our Staff: Assistant Program Director, Dani Cape Cod Adolescent Treatment Center

I saw Hannah’s growth from Day 1, to graduation, to where she is now. It made me realize no matter what role we have here with Robert F. Kennedy Children’s Action Corps, it’s not a small role we play. — RFK Staff Member Because of you: our Courageous alums are accomplishing their goals

Hannah attended the EWT School (now RFK Academy) for two-and-a-half years. “Before RFK Children’s Action Corps, life was very hard,” she shared.

Previous schools and programs were not helpful or supportive when dealing with Hannah’s mood disorder. Often times, she was placed in “time out” and felt “punished.” She fell behind on her school work and was not on track to graduate.

With the help of our dedicated teachers and staff, Hannah received the support and encouragement she needed to re-engage and attend classes. She particularly enjoyed it when guest speakers would visit the program and share their life experiences. This gave Hannah the hope and reassurance that she could overcome her challenges.

Hannah became much more social and was able to graduate with her best friend in June 2017, accomplishing the goal she had set for herself to graduate on time.

Today, she works as a residential counselor at an enrichment center working with adults with brain injuries. She will begin a new phase of her life this spring, when she starts Army National Guard basic training in Fort Jackson South Carolina. Her goal? To eventually become a State Trooper.
