ALPP, Inc. was born in March 1979 as a result of an in-depth study of local service providers. The study revealed a need for a supportive vehicle capable of supplying and/or coordinating comprehensive services for the economically and educationally disadvantaged youthful offender and her family.

Mr. Clyde Laughlin and
Pastor Wayne C. Thompson

As a community based, not-for-profit corporation, ALPP, Inc. relies upon the participation and cooperation of concerned citizens, organizations and institutions in the community in order to maximize effectiveness and to reduce the duplication of services and monetary expenditures. Referrals, rewards for the contingency behavior improvement system employed, field-trip tours of job facilities, speakers, job training and placements, physical examinations and drug counseling, staff training workshops and other activities have been made available by a host of community agencies, churches and individuals. Despite the increasing service needs, the limited resources and low visibility, ALPP has sustained and expanded services to hundreds of "on the brink" youth for over two decades.
