Mission Statement of Adair Youth Development Center
The mission of Adair Youth Development Center is to provide treatment opportunities for boys and girls committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice, who are classified as a Level V Security-Risk (maximum security). Youth committed to the center will have an Individual Treatment Plan that outlines specific goals of rehabilitation and learning. Each youth will also have individualized academic instruction designed to earn credits toward receipt of their high school diploma or GED. The instruction and treatment provided at Adair Youth Development Center is designed to prepare the youth for reintroduction into a less secure placement and ultimate release to the community.
