Youth & Grant
Programs
Live Rite operates several grant-funded programs serving young people ages 6–24 across Macomb County — from workforce readiness and healthy relationship education to pre-arrest diversion, free tutoring, and more.
Every Week, Every Youth
These programs run multiple times each week at our Recovery Resource Center and are free and open to all qualifying youth in the community.
Youth Pre-Arrest Diversion
Keeping youth out of the justice system
Live Rite's Juvenile Pre-Arrest Diversion program intervenes early, offering education, counseling, and support to juveniles at risk of entering the criminal justice system. We help reduce racial & ethnic disparities, improve access to behavioral health support, and promote academic and social success.
Youth Empowerment Group
A safe space to grow and connect
A unique weekly support group where teens and young adults (ages 6–24) experiencing similar challenges come together for mentorship, activities, games, and peer support. We maintain a safe, inclusive environment where everyone is respected and valued — free and open to the community.
Free Tutoring
Homework help & academic support
Free tutoring sessions for teens ages 6–24 every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 4–6 PM. Two time slots available (4 PM & 5 PM). Taught by Jordan McIlroy in our renovated library, which features 5 computers, 2 printers, and a TV for media learning. Bring your laptop or use ours.
Grant-Funded
BUILD Youth
Initiative
Belong · Understand · Inspire · Lead · Dedicate
The BUILD Youth Initiative is Live Rite's signature grant-funded program designed to equip at-risk youth in Macomb County, ages 14–24, with the tools to build healthy relationships, plan for their futures, and achieve emotional and economic stability.
We serve young people impacted by trauma, substance use, poverty, and justice system involvement — many of whom face significant barriers to safe relationships, employment, and long-term well-being.
