Thousands of young men and women are incarcerated each year into the California Juvenile Justice System.  Each one needs help and mentoring to turn their lives around to prevent them from reentering the same bad environment they came from.  The California youth recidivism rate is 55%.

MATFA works with jailed youth, helping them take responsibility for their actions and then re-enter the community as responsible young men and women.

MATFA also works with at-risk youth in local schools and provides housing for young people who are re-entering society after being incarcerated. [LEARN MORE]
