“For almost twenty years, BronxConnect has done incredible work to support our young people in the Bronx. By providing critical programming, resources, and opportunities to some of our most vulnerable communities, BronxConnect has ensured that our youth stays out of the criminal justice system and that they are able to reach their full potential. This program has changed the lives of countless New Yorkers and I look forward to seeing BronxConnect continue to prosper and expand.”

Statistics
Recidivism Rate
76% of youth incarcerated in NYS OCFS Detention Centers will have a new arrest for a criminal offense within 12 months of their release from custody. Youth who graduated the Bronx Connect ATI (Alternative-to-Incarceration) Supreme Court program had a one-year recidivism rate of only 17%.
Long Term Success
A 2010 long-term study of BronxConnect ATI graduates showed that after one year, 96% remained felony conviction free. After three years, 91% remained felony conviction free, and after five years, 88% remained free of felony reconviction. These statistics are even more powerful when it is understood that these youth graduated free of a felony conviction, having earned a Youthful Offender status in our program. An overwhelming majority of our alumni are able to enter adulthood without a felony charge holding them down.
Best Rates in NYC
BronxConnect ATD (Alternative-to-Detention) Program has served over 1,000 youth since January 2008. 92% of these youth have avoided re-arrest while in the program, and 88% have avoided being remanded at exit of the program. These are the highest rates of any city ATD program: with BronxConnect being the only community based ATD program managed and led exclusively by people of color.
