The Circle of Courage has been applied world-wide in schools, treatment settings, and family and youth development programs and spawned the Reclaiming Youth movement. With this philosophical foundation, Reclaiming Youth International is dedicated to the development and dissemination of proactive policies, training, research, programs, and strategies to better meet the needs of children and youth for positive participation in the challenges of home, family, school, community, and life in general. Reclaiming Youth provides a network to support children, youth, parents, professionals, citizens, policy leaders, and anyone else who is concerned with positive growth and development.

Reclaiming Youth provides strength-based conferences, training programs, research, consultants, and publications to create environments in which all young people can thrive and grow.

Annual Reclaiming Youth Conferences bring together persons searching for positive solutions for children and youth facing emotional, mental, behavioral, and spiritual needs requiring adult support. An international faculty presents leading-edge strategies for prevention, treatment, and education in which the goal is to transform risk to resilience and rage to responsibility. Conferences take place each year in the Black Hills of South Dakota and in other locations.

The Reclaiming Youth Speakers Bureau offers leading experts in the fields of education, treatment, juvenile justice, and youth development. Presenters bring rich careers of direct work with challenging youth and are contributing editors to Reclaiming Children and Youth, the organization’s quarterly journal. The bookstore offers a strong library of tools for working with challenging youth. Every selection in this store encourages resiliency in youth through opportunities for belonging, mastery, independence, and generosity.
