Youth Development

Picture
Young people today face an array of opportunities and challenges.  Many of them are familiar from our own teenage years: establishing and maintaining healthy relationships with friends, moving from the dependence of childhood to the interdependence of adulthood, acquiring the education and skills necessary for employment, negotiating changing relationships with family members, dealing with peer pressure and managing sexual feelings and desires. For today’s youth, issues such HIV/AIDS, violence and a changing economy make the traditional tasks of adolescents even harder to achieve. 

Youth development is the natural process of developing one's capacities.  While it occurs through the youth's daily experiences with people, places and possibilities, it is far too important to be left to chance, especially with the increasing number of youth related incidences of violence and indiscipline which we continue to experience on a daily basis.  We believe that helping young people achieve their full potentials is the best way to prevent them from becoming involved in risky behavior.
