Y-STRONG Helps Accompany Alternative Sentences through Summit County Courts
— The Akron Area YMCA announces “Y-STRONG” – a program developed to assist defendants battling addiction.
The program was the result of the YMCA’s collaboration with Judge Thomas A. Teodosio and Judge Joy Malek Oldfield, who preside over two Summit County drug courts.
“Y-STRONG” is a three-month complimentary YMCA membership available for participants of Summit County Common Pleas Court’s Turning Point Program and the Akron Municipal Court’s Recovery Court who have maintained six months of sobriety and are exhibiting positive life-style changes.
