I have been very proud these years to be chair of this incredible organization that is making a difference in many young lives’ future in their communities. To witness this incredible growth, these last couple of years, enabling us to empower and inspire many more children throughout Arizona by helping them truly understand, that they do matter and that they do have something to offer positive back to their community!

In 2014, Release the Fear, celebrated eighteen years, and has had the opportunity to interact with over 8,000 troubled youth; these youth now know that they have a life purpose. They know their wishes and dreams can come true, and they know they are worth it. I tear hearing some incredible transformations through the children's reflections during the workshops. Here is one of the most recent reflections from the workshop participants that constantly remind our incredible Board, Advisory Board and myself as to WHY we give of ourselves to this organization.

This is one of many stories we hear that keeps us going. A facilitator asked this student what made her turn her behavior and attitude around. Her response was the recent Release the Fear workshop. After she shared her experience with us, I asked her to write it down. She shared, "I lost my level of attitude and behavior on Thursday. I sat in my room begging God to help me understand, because I couldn’t change it on my own. I told Him I needed help immediately, it couldn’t wait. I was asking for a miracle.

The next day, we shut school down early. I figured it was for a movie. I was surprised to walk into a Release the Fear workshop. Release the Fear helped me regain my positivity and good outlook on life. I feel that I’m a better person and more mature because of the workshop. I can’t thank Robert and his team enough for what they’ve done for me and the other girls."

I'm also astounded by the quantitative pre-and post survey results that Release the Fear turns out each year, as it helps our community’s troubled kids in schools, jails, detention, and treatment centers. Along with the mid-report of the longitudinal three-year study by the Arizona Department of Juvenile corrections on Release the Fear has on recidivism (reoffending or returning children into the system).

In 2014, Release the Fear once again has achieved and surpassed many projected goals, yet there is much more work to be done! For each of the youth, we are able to provide new tools, new hopes, and the possibility of new dreams; there are ten more youth that need our assistance. Please help us continue to bridge new-found possibilities for every child in our community.

Thank you,

Release the Fear ,Inc. Board Chair

Thanks to you, you made our coming-of-age Birthday Year, another incredible one.

Relaese the Fear turned eighteen years old this year. It is amazing how time flies when you are enjoying what you're doing and seeing the progress of change. Since our inception, we have been encouraging thousands of youth to discover self-empowerment by teaching them how to make better life choices and providing them tools to help them with school work, to help them believe in themselves, and help succeed in ways they may never have thought they could. We have worked tirelessly over those years, educating disadvantaged and atrisk students on ways to connect with themselves and others.

In this past year, Release the Fear has received national and international acknowledgment of our organization and its mission: In May 2014, Release the Fear was accredited by the Arizona Department of Education as a Character Education provider. We where selected as one of two agencies in Arizona to receive Arizona Department of Education Character Education license plate funding for five years, resulting in a street able to expand our reach and inspire and empower hundreds of additional youth per year throughout Arizona’s communities.

Lil’ Wayne, internationally renowned rapper, sponsored a series of our Second Chance programs, helping young people transition to a more positive life from a life behind bars in secure care or jail.

In July, for the second year in a row, I was honored to present our mission and life-changing programs to members of the British Parliament and to US congressmen, representatives, and community leaders.

Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections released a two thirds report on a three-year longitudinal study showing that Release the Fear’s programs is helping to reducing recidivism, results within this report.

In 2013, our programs served 816 youth. By the end of 2014, we will have provided services to 1150 youth—a 40 percent increase. In 2015, we are providing over 50 percent more life-changing programs, reaching more than 1730 vulnerable and troubled youth. Release the Fear has internally tracked over the last eight years key pre-imposts survey questions. Please see findings within.

When vulnerable youth learn to find their individual gifts and begin understand that they are worth it and that they matter, change can happen. Your support and belief that spark that change.

We have always believed there is no such thing as a “bad kid”—they just have not found their gifts yet. Thank you for helping them find those gifts. Together we will continue to change the future of thousands of young lives.

Thank you for believing,

Robert J. Miley CEO and Founder

Our supporters truly leave their mark on the future of our community and the world. . .

troubled kids in schools, jails, detention, and treatment centers. Through the creative processes of art, music, and communication, we teach kids cognitive behavioral skills to build self-esteem. They learn tools to help them succeed in school, conflict resolution, and to address peer pressure, and bullying.

Between the years 2007 and 2013, Release the Fear has shown constant improvement upon youth’s pre- and post-reporting’s learned about perceptions of themselves.

In addition, during the years of 2012 and 2014, Release the Fear has contributed to an overall improvement of youth’s self-reported willingness to assist another if bullied. Despite a decline of reported learning’s about proactive options to prevent being bullied, their learning consistently remained over 78 percent.

Release the Fear Collaboration with ADJC on Recidivism Research Update through December 2014: 27 months - ADJC Report Submitted January 20, 2015 Since September 2012, Release the Fear has participated in an Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections (ADJC) multi-year study of participant recidivism. Recidivism is defined as “a return to custody,” in either the ADJC or the Arizona Department of Corrections. Data from the first 27 months of the study are reported below.

Twenty-nine “Release the Fear” workshops were conducted between September 2012 and the end of December 2014, serving 721 juveniles age 14-18 year of age. Seventeen workshops took place in secure care (562 individuals) and twelve workshops (159 participants) occurred in the community (Release the Fear @ Grace Chapel). ADJC further reports that 19% of participating individuals in secure care attended more than one RTF workshop.

Of the 562 youth who participated in a RTF workshop while in secure care, 66% of the population (370 youth) have been released from custody, while 34% (192 youth) remain in custody. Of those released or discharged from secure care, 31% (116 individuals), have since returned to secure care as a result of violations of their community supervision.

Of the 159 youth who participated in a RTF workshop while on community supervision, 78% (124 individuals) have been released or discharged. The remaining 22% (35 individuals) are still under community supervision. Forty-eight individuals (39%) who participated in one or more RTF workshops during community supervision have been returned to secure care due to violations of the terms of supervision.
