Group Activities
In addition to our primary goal of facilitating one on one relationships with mentors and youth, we will also host various group activities to enrich and further support these youth and families. These may vary from guest speakers to talk on various topics we feel the youth need and want, such as dealing with difficult relationships, steps to obtaining a GED, pursuing various trades, discussions on healthy dating while the guys play Frisbee golf and the girls practice make-up application, preparing to age out of the system for foster youth, how to manage hurts and anger and many others. These times can be combined with play, relaxing around a campfire, as roasting s’mores, so as to allow “productive hanging out” amidst a life full of appointments and hard issues. Like the mentoring sessions, these activities will be offered based on the youth we are serving at the time and the things that will best serve them.
