The Power of Youth United in Action.
 

   


The Need

  • Kids spend 80% of their time out of school.
  • Unsupervised time is the main source of problems with kids.
    • More likely to fail school
    • More likely to be under/unemployed
    • More likely to get involved in drugs
    • More likely to become pregnant
    • More likely to be a victim of violence
  • Unsupervised time means no protection from the “Vicious Cycle” of negativity kids face in every area of life.

    • Drugs
    • Negative peer pressure
    • Bullying and Violence
    • Irresponsible sexual activity
    • Passivity and Non-critical thinking of the media driven consumer mentality
    • Hopelessness and Despair
    • Lack of Meaning and Purpose to direct their talents
  • These factors combine to leave many children unprepared for the real challenges of life and contribute to poor academic performance, under-employment and limited ability to participate in society as well rounded citizens.

How do we reach these kids?  How do we create a “Virtuous Cycle” of resilient strengths to counteract this Vicious Cycle?
