Organization Details
Description & History
In 1996 GDS was created to transform at-risk adolescents and their families, especially those living in New York City?s most neglected communities, where therapeutic services are often scarce.
Our Reach Your Potential! (RYP) therapeutic model rewards teens for improving academic achievement, school attendance, and social behavior. RYP is the core of GDS? programs; it is used as a motivational tool in all of our services.
The Excel Program, a five-year holistic program, helps teens navigate adolescence by providing them with positive life experiences including the support of friends and caring adults.
