Youth Outings
Once a month, we encourage all of our teens to participate in an outing to help strengthen bonds and communication. These outings include such things as a movie night, a game night, youth group, a sports event, a dinner held at our site, etc.
Our Partners
To deliver our holistic model we have formed strategic partnerships with best in class providers to enable our site to be a hub for helping at risk youth beat the odds.
