Launched in 2021, Adopt-A-Family’s Youth Success Program picks up where Project Grow leaves off, providing a space for tutoring, friendship, and fun for resident middle- and high school students. The Youth Success Program has specifically designed an approach and curriculum that helps young people stay focused on school and on their futures.Â
Each teen comes to the program with different skill sets to acquire. Some need extra homework help and academic support, and they come to afterschool tutoring sessions offered three times a week. Others benefit from the chance to develop their social skills, which is so important to success in the real world. All the teens seem to enjoy the team-building exercises, game nights, guest speakers, small group activities, and field trips. Academic incentive trips are open to students who have achieved better grades or other goals they have established in collaboration with the Youth Success Program Manager.Â
