Services Leadership Development Services::..

Leadership Development Services are designed to provide an early intervention program to divert middle and high school youth from getting further involved in youth crime, violence and/or gangs. These services provide our youth with new opportunities for personal growth through exposure to new role models, social/recreational alternatives, leadership projects, and participating in life skills/education groups. In particular, this program may include several of the following components:

• Mentoring Services: Expose youth to alternative lifestyles, opportunities and new positive adult relationships.

• Community Service Projects: Provide leadership opportunities to plan and participate in giving back to others through community service projects.

• Social/Recreation: Provide opportunities to participate in pro-social activities and outings to learn about and appreciate new healthy leisure/education activities, social and nature settings.

• Personal Development/Support Groups: Facilitate learning and practice of new personal and social life skills.
