The program goal is to stabilize youth in their home, school and community. Special emphasis will be provided on mentoring, case management and maintaining and learning new skills to remain drug and alcohol free. Supportive services include mentoring and coaching, school advocacy, and group, individual or family counseling. Parents may have access to agency family counseling services. This program combines mentoring and tutoring with home visitation and community service.
Services are both co-ed and gender specific, focusing on middle school youth.
Mentoring is provided by trained and supervised high school youth. The goal is to increase school attachment, involve parents in school activities, promote positive peer relationships and improve social and academic competence. Youth are encouraged to participate in their community through volunteer activities. This program provides older youth who are not college bound with individualized wrap-around services that include career guidance, vocational training and business mentoring. Some youth who are not college bound need support to bridge the gap between school and work force.
