YPR | Young People in Recovery
We envision a world where all young people in or seeking recovery reach their maximum potential.
Our mission is to promote continuous abstinence and improved quality of life for young people in, or seeking,
recovery. We share our lived experience to educate, advocate and collaborate.

How to Support YPR

• Organize the family and friends of YPRs to support YPR and not infringe upon their creative process.
• Bring YPR to the table as more than the “token” youth.
• Request that Young People in Recovery in your community speak about the solution rather than glamorize our addiction

What we know
• We already know it costs $18,000 to effectively treat a young person and $50,000 to house them in prison per year
• Investing $200,000 for a thousand young people in New Jersey so that they STAY in recovery instead of falling back into the system saves money and saves lives.
• This will never happen if someone doesn’t do it. We’re here to tell you that it needs to happen for our community.
