During these uncertain times, how can we help?

To promote the well-being of children, youth, and families of the District of Columbia, and to help them achieve success in education, employment, family, community, and civic roles.
ARE provides a continuum of care for youth and families from early childhood education programs, services for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), residential programs for adjudicated youth, and parenting workshops and training. We also function as a conduit to other agencies that extend the core services provided by ARE, while also operating as an integral agency in several consortiums that serve the children and youth of the District of Columbia. ARE believes first and foremost, that all youth deserve a safe haven, and our purpose is to be a partner in making the District of Columbia a better place to live and do business; a place where children, youth, and families come first.
