Originally named Children at Risk, the current name is short for Striving Together to Achieve Rewarding Tomorrows. It is a community-based program meant to decrease substance abuse and delinquent behaviors and promote school attendance and performance in children ages 11–13. Case managers provide services to high-risk youths and their families by collaborating with schools, community organizations, and criminal justice agencies. Every program has eight core components: after-school and summer activities, community-oriented policing, criminal justice intervention, education services, family services, incentives, and mentoring. A case manager serves 13–18 children at one time.
