Our Adolescent Development Programs provide teenagers with opportunities to develop important life skills while promoting academic achievement, career exploration, and exposure to the arts.
Community Center-based Programs
Our middle school and high school programs work year-round with students 13 to 17 years of age to ensure a smooth transition from early to late adolescence and to create a safe space for youth to explore their interests. The programs operate after-school and during the summer. They offer homework assistance and tutoring, literacy and STEM enrichment, leadership development, community service opportunities, work readiness training, and structured recreation.For more information, please contact:

Our Sexual Health Promotion Through Youth Leadership Program helps teens to develop critical communication and leadership skills while simultaneously effecting change in their communities.
