Youth Progress Association

About

Youth Progress is the Pacific Northwest’s premier non-profit agency that forges self-reliant young adults.

Story

The intent of Youth Progress is to teach independent living skills while addressing the client’s mental and emotional needs. Each of our programs foster empowerment and self-identity through accountability and knowledge.

All of our programs utilize approaches that are evidence-based. Above all, every program at Youth Progress is structured around seeing each client as an individual, and basing the treatment of that individual off of his/her strengths. In order to accommodate each client, Youth Progress operates several specific programs tailored to its diverse clientele.

These programs include:
- The Visions Program
- The Mariposa Program
- Residential Living
- Transition Program
- The Learning Center

Our treatment philosophy centers on Cognitive Behavioral approaches and embraces Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Social Learning Theory and Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS).
