This research evaluates the impact of Cordero Holmes' "Me, You, Us Program (M.Y.U./MyU)" at the Durango Juvenile Facility, a 10-week educational intervention utilizing a workbook designed by Holmes. Participation in this program offers incarcerated youth direct benefits by fostering self-awareness, empathy, and conflict resolution skills through self-reflective activities and social-emotional learning components. It empowers youth to break the cycle of criminal behavior by promoting a positive attitude towards education and providing tools for academic success. While acknowledging potential risks like emotional discomfort during self-reflection activities, this study aims to assess the effectiveness of the M.Y.U./MyU program in equipping incarcerated youth with the skills and mindset for successful reintegration into society and avoiding further criminal involvement.
