Y-CAP Phases
Intervention Phase (Middle School) - is school based and focuses on working with high-risk middle school students that have not been expelled from school. Activities are primarily related to life skills development, academic improvement, and relationship building.

Alternative Phase (Christa McAuliffe) - is a 1/2 Day Phase of Y-CAP designed to work with students that are attending public school with a reduced day. This phase primarily exists to work with students in the EVSC Alternative Middle School program, but students from other schools can become involved.

Prevention Phase (Elementary School) - is a school based program that is designed to increase the healthy development of young students. This phase focuses on building self-esteem and developing character to aid in conflict resolution and drug/alcohol awareness.

Follow-up Phase (High School) - is designed to allow high school students to be involved with Y-CAP in a much more self-directed fashion. This phase focuses on three areas for post-graduation: college, military and the workforce.
