Enrichment Workshops
Through our workshops we seek to enrich and transform the lives of youth who may be dealing with negative or stressful home environments, lack of emotional and educational support, negative peer pressure, or transient living conditions and homelessness. Youth who experience these conditions are often times at risk for educational setbacks, teen pregnancy, drug or alcohol abuse, and trouble with the law.
Our workshops address these issues by:
- building and strengthening through spiritual awareness, self-awareness and social awareness.
- teaching principles and techniques to positively address emotional and physical circumstances.
- providing experiences for mental, social, and academic growth.
Beyond our workshops, we will provide continuing emotional and social support to our young ladies, throughout early adulthood.
See our Workshop Goals below.
Discover Me (DM) Workshops
The DM program has 4 workshop topics.
1 Self-Esteem
The right kind of confidence can only be based on true self-worth—believing you are a valuable person to be respected and loved. The Bible has a great deal to say about how we are to think of ourselves and our personal value. We understand that without this deep sense of worth you can never be truly happy. Having a proper sense of your own personal identity leads to true inner confidence and stability. This is what we hope to instill in the young people we serve.
2 Social Grace
Youth will be coached in visual presentation, social etiquette, personal grooming and table etiquette. The goal is to empower the youth to achieve their maximum potential by building confidence in their social skills.
3 Technology
The Technology unit is designed to instill a sense of awareness and responsibility, when handling technology. The goal is to empower youth to behave morally, ethically and socially while using mobile devices and via the various popular internet social sites.
4 Health
This unit teaches the importance of taking care of your body, through exercise, good nutrition, and proper diet. It also teaches the importance of distinguishing between healthy and unhealthy relationships and friendships.
