About UCAN

UCAN strives to achieve UCANs vision that youth who suffer trauma can become our future leaders by building strong youth and families through compassionate healing, education, and empowerment.

 UCAN has grown into a multifaceted social service organization serving and impacting over 22,000 youth and families each year. We help our youth reach the Power of their Potential by strategically developing a holistic and lifelong relationship with each individual.

 We believe that our inspiring programs help to break cycles of violence and abuse while instilling a powerful sense of hope for the future. We strive to help them become advocates for change by providing essential services to the communities in need. For example, UCAN therapists host virtual sessions for our youth; our residential programs con tine to provide shelter, and our violence interrupters are ever present in the streets reducing gun violence.
