About YAR
The Youth at Risk Conference was established by Rev. Mike Duda and the Essex County Community Foundation (ECCF) in 2000. It was developed in response to the need for collaboration and coordination among the many providers of health services to at-risk youth in and around Essex County.
For the past 12 years, Youth At Risk has worked to advance greater sharing and collaboration among youth services providers, provide training workshops on many youth services, and to increase awareness of existing resources.
The conference is an incredible opportunity to tap the wealth of expertise in Essex County around the topic of youth at risk. It continues to be a one-of-a-kind and most anticipated annual event.

The YAR Conference is geared towards individuals working with and caring for youth in a variety of settings—family, community, school, religious, healthcare, human service, recreational and legal. Attendees include: social workers, mental health counselors, marriage and family therapists, psychologists, educators, school counselors, nurses, public health workers, program managers, organization CEOs, juvenile court personnel, lawyers and police officers.
Day of Conference
