Project Title: LIFE SKILLS DEVELOPMENT FOR TEENS LIFE SKILLS DEVELOPMENT FOR TEENS
Project Description:

To provide a leg up for youth in this marginalized community, Delta Advantage Center proposes Life Skills Development for Teens workshops that will provide a base for young people to achieve social and emotional health. Area youth ages 14 to 19 participating in activities at Delta Advantage Center’s multipurpose center will participate in this series of workshops that will educate, inspire, and activate youth to be successful in whatever walk of life they choose. The workshops offer strategies and tips for making constructive decisions to positively affect the trajectory of their lives. Teens are encouraged to consider how their behavioral choices made now (whether positive or negative) can follow them for years. The workshops are designed to help the teen breakdown barriers to their success and embolden them as they become strong, efficient, and confident in themselves.
Workshop Topics include:
Mindset Development Self-Image and Self Esteem
Communications skills Impressions (1st and lasting)
Making Healthy Social Interaction Decisions Leadership
Financial Literacy and Financial wellness Resiliency
Strategies for solving real life problems. Career & Education Options
