Youth Empowerment Series
Loving Hands Children’s Home has launched a fun and interactive youth empowerment program, which is focused on teaching at-risk and older foster youth valuable independent living skills. When youth are granted access to information & resources and are able to share regular positive interactions with trusted adults, there is a significant decrease in the likelihood of drug and/or alcohol abuse, crime and under age pregnancy. The Empowerment program also gives our organization the opportunity to assist in addressing hunger, and other important issues related to poverty and homelessness. Children who are fortunate to have access to resources and the guidance of a positive role model experience improved academic performance, higher self confidence and better decision making abilities. They are also more likely to attend and complete a college degree / trade program, and set & complete positive goals for the betterment of their lives.
BThe Youth Empowerment Program is part of our Community Outreach and Mentor Program . Through our program we teach youth independent living skills and grant youth necessary resources that aid participants in daily living. With each course taught, the organization purchases and donates items that coincide with each lesson. This includes food, donated clothing items and supplies. Our program offers youth a safe and reliable means to develop positive and significant relationships and secure needed resources. We unite caring and dedicated community members with youth and provide resources for a successful transition into adulthood. Our mentors provide support, friendship, encourage independence and assist in promoting confidence.
Some of the life skills taught include the following:
- Independent Living Basics
