Staff work collaboratively to create a continuum of services for youth at risk.
Athol YMCA's Superteens II is an expansion of the successful after-school program which has served students for six years. Participants learn to express their feelings using a variety of art media and other techniques and share their creations with family and the community at a showcase of student work. The Literacy Project's Reach Out helps North Quabbin area youth develop leadership skills, work with the community, and address current issues of importance to teens. Orange Elementary School's Oasis Program offers after-school workshops to elementary and middle school students to connect with the community and learn skills. Activities include basketball, sign language, arts and crafts, and substance abuse prevention.
