REACH Project

Established in 1983, the Youth Intervention Program is coordinated by REACH Project, Inc. under contract with the City of Antioch:
Antioch Police Department as a collaborative venture between APD, Antioch Unified School District, Contra Costa County Probation Department and RH. Upwards of 1,000 youths annually are served through accountability-based educational, counseling and treatment related diversionary services as a proven and proactive alternative to the criminal justice system. Statistics show less than 8 percent recidivism. Over 92% of participating minors and their parents have successfully completed program requirements including mandatory REACH services.

Hearing Days and Times
Youth Intervention Program hearings occur at the Antioch Police Facility on Tuesdays and Fridays. Hearings normally last 30-60 minutes and with required paperwork can take up to two hours from the time of arrival.
