Do Right, Feel Right with UCAN — January 21, 2019

On this episode of The Way Out Recovery Hour, Bob Sharits is joined by Sammy Edwards and Aaron Valencia to talk about how to do right and feel right with UCAN, instead of wallowing in our mistakes and getting stuck in the mud. UCAN is an organization dedicated to helping youth who are at risk or in jeopardy of going to a juvenile detention center or are facing expulsion from school. Sammy and Aaron were in the same place as many of the youth in the program are currently at, and they work with the kids to provide them the help they may need or want. UCAN has helped so many youth, and Sammy and Aaron share their personal experiences of how helpful the program is to those youth they were once like.

Listen in as Bob, Aaron and Sammy talk about how to do right and feel right with UCAN so that you can make the most of yourself in the new year.

About UCAN:

“UCAN was founded on January 6, 1990 with the DBA “Operation Gangwatch”, developed specifically to target gang involved or affiliated youth. This organization has received countless awards and recognition for performance by the California Governor, State Attorney General, L.A. County Sheriff, County Supervisor and other elected officials.

UCAN has received numerous crime prevention awards the governors crime prevention award, the Attorney General, and the LA County Prevention award. UCAN has also been awarded “the Most Outstanding Project Award” from LA County CDC, for outstanding administration of their CDBG Grant Funds. In addition, we were honored for our Juvenile Diversion For First Offenders Program, for overall success.

We have maintained an 70-75% success rate based on no re-arrests and improved family conditions after two years of tracking all clients after service. UCAN is currently involved in a collaborative effort. The five agencies collaborating are UCAN, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Dept, and Probation Dept., District Attorneys’ office, Antelope Valley Union High School District with the City of Lancaster. The District Attorneys’ office in the Antelope Valley has the highest reported conviction rate of gang members in the county. UCAN is maintaining an 85% successful completion rate and the high schools are reporting lower truancies with the projects implementation. UCAN is particularly effective in ensuring compliance with conditions of probation requiring regular school attendance and satisfactory performance. The overall success of this project has exceeded all expectations. We look forward to expanding the program.”
