Robert F. Kennedy Children’s Action Corps -3- Annual Report   2006 Defining Moments At RFK Children’s Action Corps, we believe that the children in our care should have the same opportunities as other children in the community. Here are some of the wonderful moments children experienced this year: • A production of Hamlet was performed by boys at the Springfield Secure Treatment Services for other residents, their families, and staff. • 35 youth from programs throughout the agency received their GED certificates or high school diplomas. • More than 300 youth attended a talent show put on by girls in the Youth Leadership Program for Girls (YLPG) that helped raise awareness of gun violence. • Clowns, vampires, and ballerinas competed in pie-eating contests and braved a haunted house created by staff at the Lancaster Campus’ annual Halloween party. • Boys from the White Street Group Home visited with the elderly at nursing homes, and prepared and served food at the Loaves and Fishes Soup Kitchen in Springfield. • Residents at the Lawrence Community Re-entry Center received valuable job training through a 40-hour apprenticeship program, which culminated in a Lead Abatement and Asbestos Removal Training Certificate and an entry-level job that pays $14 per hour.

But for Niyyah Asim, being rebellious was a way of life. “When I was younger, I would throw tantrums to get what I wanted. When I was 12, I had detention every day. By the time I was 15, I was having fights and hanging out with kids who were doing all the wrong things.” A turning point came when she was involved in an accident while driving a stolen truck, and her mother turned her in to the police. “We went to court the next day and the judge put me on probation,” Niyyah remembers. “But I wouldn’t do anything my probation officers said. Whenever I would get called back for breaking probation, my lawyer would get me out of it.” Eventually, Niyyah was sent to a residential treatment program. When she continued to break the rules, she was sent to the RFK Children’s Action Corps’ Fay A. Rotenberg School in North Chelmsford, the only secure treatment program for girls in Massachusetts. The Rotenberg School was the one system Niyyah couldn’t manipulate. The staff was strict yet caring. Privileges were earned and rules and responsibilities enforced.
