Programs & Services
Practical Support. Personal Attention. Meaningful Change.
Our programs are designed to strengthen children, individuals, and families. We focus on the person, not simply the problem.
Youth Mentoring
We provide individualized mentoring for children and young adults. Building trust is an important part of our approach. We listen to what young people are experiencing and help them work toward positive and constructive solutions.
Mentoring may focus on:
• Self-confidence
• Motivation
• Goal-setting
• Positive decision-making
• Communication
• Responsibility
• Social development
• Healthy routines
• Educational motivation
• Problem-solving
Our goal is to help young people recognize their strengths and potential.
Academic & Educational Support
We provide tutoring and educational mentoring. We recognize that poor academic performance may have causes beyond the classroom. Confidence, motivation, organization, and social experiences can all affect learning.
Our support may include:
• Individual tutoring
• Academic mentoring
• Study skills
• Organization
• Time management
• Goal-setting
• Motivation
• Confidence building
Family Guidance
Challenges involving a child can affect the entire family. We provide parents with practical guidance and support. We listen to their concerns and help them consider constructive ways to approach difficult situations. When appropriate, we also help families identify additional resources.
Life-Skills Development
Practical skills can make an enormous difference in everyday life. We help individuals strengthen these skills in areas such as:
• Communication
• Organization
• Time management
• Decision-making
• Problem-solving
• Goal-setting
• Responsibility
• Managing everyday tasks
Youth Enrichment
Discovering Strengths Outside the Classroom
Not every child's strengths are measured by grades. Some children discover their abilities through music, art, woodworking, or hands-on activities. Our after-school programs give children opportunities to learn, create, and experience success.
Activities may include:
• Music & Art
• Woodworking
• Creative projects
• Hands-on activities
• Group enrichment
Completing a project can give a child a powerful sense of accomplishment. “I can do this. I have abilities. I can succeed.” That confidence can positively affect other areas of the child's life.
Supporting Parents
Our after-school programs provide valuable support for parents. Children receive a constructive place to spend time, while parents receive additional time to manage household responsibilities.
Employment & Resource Connections
Sometimes a practical opportunity can change a family's direction. When appropriate, we help individuals identify employment opportunities and community resources to open important doors.
Educational & Motivational Programs
We provide speeches and presentations on topics including:
• Education & Motivation
• Personal development
• Life skills
• Goal-setting
• Positive decision-making
• Family & Community well-being
When Additional Help Is Needed
We understand that some situations require specialized professional assistance. When appropriate, we encourage and help families seek assistance from qualified professionals.
Our Goal:
• Greater Confidence
• Greater Stability
• Stronger Skills
• Better Opportunities
• A More Positive Future
