Planting Change: Human-Centered Support for Youth
Breaking cycles of poverty and incarceration, one seed at a time.
What We Do
At In the Field, we provide court-ordered youth with a safe, structured, and supportive alternative to detention. Our day/evening reporting center is designed to help teens succeed in completing probation while building the life skills, confidence, and connections they need to thrive long after the program ends.
What We Offer
- A structured 90-day program where youth report for 3 hours each day with transportation
- Daily accountability check-ins and progress tracking with probation
- Life skills workshops on decision-making, communication, and resilience
- Academic support including tutoring, truancy support & behavioral reports
- Music, gaming, hiking, therapeutic art, 3D printers, movie theatre, food and snacks
Why It Matters
Detention disrupts families, interrupts education, and increases the chances of reoffending. Our center flips that cycle by keeping youth connected to their communities while teaching responsibility, discipline, and positive choices.
We don’t just focus on getting youth off probation — we focus on helping them stay on track for life.
