WHO WE SERVE
The WISE program is open to students aged 15 to 25 and focuses on providing at-risk and high-risk youths a safe and welcoming space to learn and be exposed to essential life skills and habits by offering sessions that range from different topics.
WHAT WE DO
The WISE program provides 6 sessions over the summer each which focus on Mental Health Resources, Life Skills Training, College and Career Resources, and more.
WHY IT MATTERS
These workshops foster constructive connections with caring adults while teaching character development, social thinking, and life skills to encourage overall wellness in youth. Our facilitators and staff are individuals who have lived in difficult conditions comparable to those endured by the youths and we aim to help bridge the gap and assist youth in avoiding such situations.
