YOUTH
.png)
Emotional literacy is a transformative tool for empowering youth, equipping them with essential skills to navigate the complexities of adolescence and beyond. Research shows that emotional literacy (social-emotional learning) programs lead to:
-
+11% increase in academic achievement
-
+23% improvement in social and emotional skills
These findings are based on a large-scale meta-analysis of over 270,000 students across 213 studies.
Even more powerful—early shifts can be seen quickly. Many programs report noticeable improvements in emotional awareness, behavior, and communication in as little as 4–6 weeks, with deeper, long-term impact continuing to build over time.
By fostering self-awareness and emotional regulation, emotional literacy enables young people to build confidence, resilience, and a positive self-image. Through these skills, youth learn to communicate effectively, express themselves authentically, and navigate relationships with empathy and understanding. In the 10P Program we dont believe in diversion. We believe in empowering and equipping.
This foundation empowers them to make informed decisions, set and achieve goals, and handle challenges with clarity and determination.
By investing in emotional literacy, we empower youth to unlock their full potential and become resilient, compassionate leaders of tomorrow. We believe there is no reason to wait until our children are in juvenile hall or prison to provide them with the tools they need—we can equip them now to optimize their potential and change the trajectory of their lives.

Empowering Youth

The Boys 2 Men & Girls 2 Women Workshops are designed to help young men and women rewrite their story and step onto a new trajectory. Through emotional literacy, participants gain the tools to understand their emotions, regulate their responses, and make better decisions in high-pressure situations. Instead of reacting impulsively, they learn to pause, think, and choose actions that lead to better outcomes for themselves and those around them. We graduated our first juvenile cohort at the Orange County Juvenile Hall in 2025 in conjunction with our community partners, West Coast Credible Messengers.
This shift is powerful. Research shows that emotional literacy programs lead to:
-
–9% reduction in conduct problems
-
–9% reduction in emotional distress
-
–10% reduction in aggressive behavior
These findings are based on a large-scale meta-analysis of over 270,000 students across 213 studies. Many programs report noticeable improvements in emotional awareness, behavior, and communication in as little as 4–6 weeks, with deeper, long-term impact continuing to build over time.
More importantly, the workshop builds confidence, accountability, and a sense of purpose. It strengthens communication, improves relationships, and helps participants see new possibilities for their future.
This isn’t just a program—it’s an opportunity to change direction, break cycles, and build a foundation for a different life.

10p!
10P began inside a level‑IV maximum‑security yard in 2014 to meet a single, urgent need: give people something meaningful to live toward and lead from. Today we operate in 28 prisons for men and women, delivering peer‑led, trauma‑informed programming that replaces punishment with skill, voice, and accountability. Our prison work uses peer facilitation, restorative circle practice, and emotional‑literacy skill building to reduce violence, strengthen prosocial habits, and prepare participants for successful reentry. Facilitators are trauma‑informed and, where possible, program alumni—so teaching lands with credibility, cultural competence, and hope.
-
Peer‑led cohorts & circle practice that build accountability, empathy, and conflict repair.
-
Structured curriculum modules: emotional literacy, restorative justice, trigger mapping, repair scripts.
-
Short‑cycle progress checks & facilitator coaching to sustain behavior change inside institutions.
-
Field‑tested design: developed in California prisons since 2014 and adapted for high‑security settings and reentry readiness. Quick stat highlights: Serving 28 prisons; field‑tested since 2014; early measurable shifts in awareness and behavior in 4–6 weeks; majority of facilitators are program alumni.

BELT — Bridging Emotional Literacy & Transition
BELT is a hands‑on, heart‑forward reentry workshop that actually brings families into the work of healing. Built to close the gap between incarceration and community life, BELT teaches concrete emotional‑literacy skills, restores relationships, and builds real reentry readiness through short, repeatable rituals and step‑by‑step scripts people can use the week after the workshop — not someday down the line. Delivered in secure visiting spaces and via vetted virtual sessions, BELT pairs peer‑led facilitation with family engagement so residents practice communication, co‑regulation, and repair with the people who matter most. The model is trauma‑informed, intentionally practical, and designed to land with credibility and hope because many facilitators are program alumni who’ve lived the work.

THE B.R.A.I.N. Project (Transforming Hearts Empowering Brilliance Resilience And Insightful Neural-growth Project)
The B.R.A.I.N. Project adapts trauma‑informed neuro‑emotional learning for incarcerated scholars, families, and community partners. It translates ACEs science into practical skills—how to read emotions, interrupt inherited patterns, and build relational habits that prevent harm and support reintegration.
-
Modules: ACEs, trigger mapping, emotional baseline restoration, resilience practices. See "Our Programs" for more information.
-
Formats: Individual, group and family tracks so repair happens where relationships matter most.
-
Pathways: advanced facilitation and leadership training for alumni who become peer educators. Quick fact: Converts trauma awareness into actionable relationship practices that participants can use immediately.

Program Efficacy, Metrics & Next Steps
We measure what matters: behavior change, safer prison yards and group climates, reentry readiness, successfully obtained and sustained paroles—not certificates. Our impact indicators include cohort retention, conflict incident reductions, self‑reported emotional‑literacy gains, employment/education placement after release, and engagement with mentorship. Key evidence points:
-
Field‑tested since 2014 inside California prisons and community sites.
-
Peer‑led model increases credibility and retention; most facilitators are alumni.
-
Early gains: consistent practice produces observable shifts in emotional awareness and communication within 4–6 weeks.
-
Research alignment: curricula translate ACEs and neuro‑emotional science into practical repair and regulation skills that reduce risk factors and boost prosocial outcomes.
What you can track: cohort retention; incident reports; pre/post emotional‑literacy scores; reentry placements; mentorship uptake.

Community: Book a free intro session.
-
Facilities: Request a program proposal and facilitator profile packet.
-
Partners: Sponsor a cohort — support reentry, healing, and generational change.
