The ability to
express one's self in verbal and written form is a fundamental skill in youth
development. It also is increasingly a necessary skill in competing for jobs
and in participating in the day-to-day interactions in our society. This program
provides youth with an opportunity to learn, develop and practice an assortment
of communication skills to include body language, voice tones and listening.
Activities include writing and delivering speeches on subject matters of their
choice and evaluating their peers and themselves.
This
life skills program helps participants gain greater control over their lives
and their future through character building. Participants learn school-to-work
transition skills and how to build positive attitudes. The topics include, but
are not limited to: respecting ourselves and others, planning and reaching goals,
getting and maintaining a job, managing money, and understanding legal rights
and responsibilities. This program is competency-based and highly interactive.
(More
details to come in May 2004)
In recognizing youth as a valuable resource to the community, an advisory council
consisting of nine members will be recruited from a diverse population. The
youth will serve as leaders and participate in the governance and decision making
structure of the programs and will contribute to its effectiveness. In leadership
development, the youth will learn the importance of both their individual contribution
and being part of a team in sharing responsibilities and roles for accomplishing
tasks.
(To be implemented in Fall 2005)
