What We Do

 

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]

 


Who We Serve

MATFA serves youth ages 10-25 who are incarcerated in the juvenile detention centers and the Department of Juvenile Justice. We also serve youth in the school districts by providing education and support in an effort to prevent them from going into the juvenile justice division and helping them to make the correct choices for their future. 

 

MATFA also serves anyone that comes to our offices in need of counseling during times of extreme hardship or loss of a loved one. We are here to serve those who are lost and hurting, and to assist those that have wronged others in understanding that there is a way to say “I’m sorry” and move their lives forward.
