This youth support program will provide participating youth with a supportive structure that requires them to overcome barriers that are preventing them from succeeding in all aspects of their lives.  The program will improve the lives of participants by providing them with the ability to build resilience, raise their self-esteem, recognize healthier coping mechanisms and enhance their life skills that will assist them to make better decisions, granting them the opportunity to become leaders and positive members of their community.

 

This support group will give youth the opportunity to be heard and learn how to improve their relationships with their parents and peers and to be aware of issues of violence and trends that affect them in the community.
