Teen REACH

Beatrice Caffrey Youth Service

Teen REACH

The Teen REACH Program provides services to youth between the ages of 10-17
years of age, and their families, on a daily basis.

The purpose of the program is to provide youth living in high need communities with
critical support and services that will assist them in the development of behaviors
and expectations that will lead to current and future successes. These services are
provided in a safe and structured learning environment during the time that Federal
studies have shown these youth to be most vulnerable and at risk, (3pm-7pm).

Services are focused on academic improvement, the development of new skills and
interests through sports/cultural and artistic activities, the promotion of social
interests and talents through involvement with positive adult role models, promoting
parental involvement, decreasing risk taking behavior through the provision of life
skills education, and promoting service learning activities which connects classroom
learning with community services.

Participants are involved in activities such as dance; liturgical/modern, drama;
acting/writing scripts, sports; intramural/recreational, culinary arts; meal
planning/preparing, tutoring, creative writing, arts/crafts, entrepreneurial
endeavors, social grace/etiquette and field trips.
