Youth Advocate Programs, Inc. is a national nonprofit based in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, that partners with communities and public agencies to provide community-based services as alternatives to youth incarceration and to placements in child welfare and behavioral health systems. The organization maintains global partnerships and operates across multiple states to extend these alternatives. In 2026, it introduced initiatives such as the YAP Global Leadership Institute and an integrated intervention model that blends wraparound services with cognitive behavioral therapy. Its services are designed to support youth at risk of confinement and families navigating child welfare or behavioral health needs, offering supports in the community rather than in institutional settings. YAP also emphasizes equal employment and program opportunities, stating that decisions are based on qualifications and program needs without regard to protected characteristics. Recent collaborations include a partnership with the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County for the Alternatives to Violence program.
