Youth Services A team of full-time social group workers with expertise in group dynamics, individual, and family counseling deliver services to children and teenagers. Services are aimed at helping youths develop social skills, enhance their self-esteem, understand positive peer and family interactions, and at developing a healthy mind and body. Socialization and athletic activities offer young people a safe environment where they can relax and interact with peers in a supervised setting. The programs are aimed at reducing violence in neighborhoods and at keeping kids away from gang-related activities. Tutoring programs operate only during the school year on an individual or small group basis.
Transportation is provided.
