Students in the Teen Zone are groomed for life after high school. For The Children hosts mentors, speakers, and guests to help our teens identify a goal and purpose for their lives. We focus on college, technical schools, testing, and available scholarships so they understand the options available to them when they graduate.
College ReadinessWeekly meetings give students the opportunity to interact with faculty, staff and students from area colleges, exposing them to people of different backgrounds and viewpoints. Teens conduct complex independent and group study assignments that require extensive out-of-class-time preparation. Students also receive assistance with skill-building in core subject areas, college entrance exams, college entry requirements and other areas to help them prepare for higher education.
Gang Resistance Education and Training (G.R.E.A.T.)G.R.E.A.T. offers a continuum of components for students and their families that focus on providing life skills to avoid using delinquent behavior and violence to solve problems. These components include a 13-lesson middle school curriculum, a 6-lesson elementary school curriculum, a summer program, and family training.
Teen Outreach Program (TOP)Offered in partnership with Planned Parenthood and other agencies, TOP is designed to engage students via structured discussions, group exercises, role plays, guest speakers, and informational presentations. Discussions and activities focus on maximizing learning from community service experiences, and on helping teens cope with important developmental tasks such as understanding self and personal values, life skills, dealing with family stress, human growth and development, and issues related to social and emotional transitions from adolescence to adulthood.
