In FY24 (July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024), UTEC continued to transform lives and break cycles of violence and poverty, achieving meaningful outcomes for young adults in our community. This impact was made possible thanks to the unwavering support of our donors, partners, and advocates. Together, we are creating brighter futures—one young person at a time. 

UTEC staff served 525 young adults behind the walls, on the streets, and through programming. 

71% of young adults had no new arraignments within one year of enrolling in UTEC’s intensive programming. 65% had no new arraignments after two years.

UTEC’s Training Center for Excellence conducted 33 trainings that provided the tools needed to support violence prevention professionals.

20 children were enrolled in our 2Gen Childcare Center.

19 young adults earned their high school equivalency.

UTEC Streetworkers held 19 events to build community and provide helpful resources to those who might need it.
