Small groups, Field Trips, Volunteering and Mentoring
Teens in Action provides year-round support to middle and high school students to remain actively engaged in school, graduate and prepare for a promising future. Teens in Action combines small group meetings, college and career site visits, field trips, community volunteering and mentoring to promote commitment and follow through and inspire vision for the future. The program boosts confidence, builds self-esteem and develops leadership skills. Youth are encouraged to reach for their dreams despite life’s circumstances and ultimately become adults who build society and give back to the community.
