Original Gangster's Academy
About the School
- Original Gangster's Basic Academy of Delinquency is a non-profit youth services agency.
- Our mission is to provide targeted youth who are prone to gang involvement with alternatives to a gang lifestyle.
- We fulfill this mission through an education program, job skills training and supervised recreational activities for high risk youth.
- Our strategies are consistent with the three-pronged, balanced approach of the Idaho State Department of Juvenile Corrections.
- The balanced approach emphasizes skill-building, accountability and protection of society.
- The strength of our program, now in its sixth year of operations, is in providing skill-building activities while holding youth accountable for continuing their education and contributing back to the community.
- Ultimately, our program helps protect our community by diverting youth from gang activity.
- To successfully address gang issues in our community requires this comprehensive, balanced approach.
