My Project

Please help our Teen Outreach Program help our community comfortably. Our Teen Outreach Program has two clubs, middle school and high school. We have 37 members in our clubs.

We teach these members about making good decisions, setting goals, and how to communicate effectively with others.

We are required to achieve twenty hours of community service hours, however our club members always reach around sixty to one hundred hours. Our members are so dedicated to helping our community and are making a huge difference.

During our lesson portion each week, students are sitting on the floor and in broken chairs. We know that people learn in different ways and in different positions. I want to make our students comfortable during the learning portion of our meetings because they deserve it. They are dedicated to any service project asked of them, they are amazing, hardworking, and I am so proud of them.
