Youth Reintegration Programs

The Narava Farm has a positive history of working with youth clients from different European countries, who have conflicts with the law and bad home situations or because former conflicts. Within our community educational programs in Slovenia with partners, we have developed expertise helping young people with issues/problems, aims to reduce recidivism, repeat offending by discovering underlying causes of their behaviour. When the youth client recognize the connections  through patterns, behaviours and resulting consequences, they’re better equipped to build healthy relationships, focus on the future and become productive members of society. [without in most cases], getting again in conflict with the law or being involved in criminal activities. 

This voluntary program in Slovenia offers assisted living and family structure, working within the community in educational assignments. The youth client help’s with daily cooking at the farm family. In this care, the social support he or she will get from the social community reintegration worker, will motivated the youth client accept the support he is offered after the program in Slovenia in his or her own country afterwards.

The program includes the option for family support, bringing positive contact with their child, by phone or online counselling.

The program can be short from 2 weeks, up to 3 months, depending on the needs of the youth client or the involved organization. 

The non-profit costs includes all basic facilities, room, 3 meals a day, drinks and snack in between. We only charge a contribution between € 20 and € 30 per day, depending the age and needs of the youth client. We can also arrange for the client to be picked up and taken to Ljubljana airport in consultation.

We recommend a small amount is contributed each month so that the youth client can buy something for himself or herself.
