Centro CHA is committed to empowering youth and young adults with the knowledge and skills towards becoming self-sufficient members of their community. 

The youth diversion program works to reduce violence by providing recreational programming that promotes the arts, the outdoors, sports, and science for young adults and students between the ages of 16-24. To ensure the success of all enrolled participants, Centro CHA provides transportation assistance and incentives for active participation and attendance. 

Past programs have been partially funded by the U.S. Department of Labor.
