Eckerd Connects offers a short term juvenile justice residential program designed to provide a safe, structured, and fully supportive rehabilitative experience for youth ages 13–17. We serve youth statewide through a diverse network of three male-specific academies and a dedicated female academy, our programs focus on accountability, personal growth, and preparing youth for successful reentry into their homes and communities.
Youth are referred to our residential program by the North Carolina Division of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, ensuring that each participant receives individualized care, evidence based services, and the guidance needed to build a more positive future.
