Safe City Academy (SCA) enrolls gang and court involved youth, ages 16 to 19, in a GED reparation/work program. SCA serves approximately 50 high-risk, disconnected youth each year. DYC launched Safe City Academy to address the lack of remedial education and GED programs for youth who have criminal records and have dropped out of public schools.
