Safe and Successful Youth Initiative (SSYI)
The Safe and Successful Youth Initiative (SSYI) is funded by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services. SSYI utilizes a comprehensive public health approach to outreach, engagement, case management, and service delivery to increase positive outcomes for adolescents and young adults ages 17-24.
All clients are referred by public safety agencies who have identified these individuals as those most at-risk of being victims or perpetrators of firearm violence.
