"Teaching Purpose...Empowering Families...Changing Lives"
We conduct a variety of outreach initiatives by identifying certain specific needs in our community and providing services to the people who need it most.
Many of today's youth have experienced some type of physical or emotional abuse, neglect, and/or abandonment which often leads to disappointment, isolation, and issues with trust. We take pride in being positive role models, and developing lasting mentoring relationships with youth.
Our workshops focus on providing tools and resources to help families recognize and deal with issues like:
· Anger Management · Bullying
· Communication ·Family Issues
· Poor Educational Achievement / Truancy
· Psychological distress/Trauma
· Substance Abuse/Misuse
During our summits participants engage in skills building in personal care, daily and independent living, healthy meal preparation, budgeting and money management, and other areas to assist them in making healthy choices and good decisions.
They also participate in fun, engaging activities with peers to help develop critical thinking, social and communication skills, while building new friendships.
