The journal aims to promote the well-being of the whole child by educating the "whole village" of stakeholders who serve youth at risk including schoolteachers, school leaders, school counselors and psychologists, school and community social workers, intervention and prevention community therapists, community health and human service providers, juvenile justice professionals, volunteer youth service providers, business and community mentors, and last, but not least, parents and youth caretakers. It is important to note that youth at risk are not limited to minorities, intercity youth, or youth from poverty backgrounds. All youth—including children and adolescents from every strata of society—can be placed at risk at some time in their development and to varying degrees. Youth may be placed at risk by problematic conditions that threaten their safety, health, social/emotional needs, or intellectual achievement. Problematic conditions affecting youth include but are not limited to poverty, racism, substance abuse, school violence, gangs, bullying, negative peer pressure, negative school climate, lack of relevant curriculum, passive instructional strategies, disregard for individual learning differences, ineffective and unfair discipline systems, low teacher expectations, unqualified teachers, inadequate counseling, teen pregnancy, sexual assault and harassment, unhealthy eating practices, abusive and neglectful parents, lack of community resources, and community violence.
