Outreach ServicesResponsive Attentive Peers (RAP) are life-skills groups for youth, offered at community locations such as youth clubs, schools and community centers. Project Safe Place is a network of public places reaching out to youth in crisis. When a youth seeks assistance at a Safe Place site, the site contacts us, and a staff member is dispatched to talk to the youth and help determine the next course of action. Youth Advocacy Council involves area youth, including current and former clients, who act as ambassadors to the community. They meet regularly to provide feedback about programs, lead activities in the shelter, offer support to the agency, and create a forum for youth to have a voice in the community. We are accepting applications for membership now - click here to apply. Leadership Forum is a day-long activity for area youth to learn leadership and advocacy skills in preparation for the following trip to the state capitol to meet with state lawmakers. Learn more here or click here to apply. Diversity Conference is a one-day event at which youth tackle specific challenges to gain an understanding of trials that come with trying to operate in today’s world with those problems. The conference is scheduled for December, 2006. |
