Major Activities

Activity 2

Recreation - most of the youth programs are designed to help youth improve on the behaviors they exhibit while among peers, adults, their families, and the community-at-large. Many of the youth seen come through the programs from at-risk neighborhoods and deal everyday with the dangers of substance use/abuse, gang violence, family disintegration, etc. As a result, their behaviors when around friends, family, etc., sometimes involve juvenile delinquency (cutting school, graffiti, fighting, swearing, etc.), substance abuse (alcohol and smoking), anger, distrust of adults and others, bullying, etc. The programs for youth are designed to help them escape this cycle and empower them to create a better environment for themselves and those around them. In addition, the in-community treatment program (ictp) provides an alternative learning environment for youth who are failing out of school and in trouble with juvenile justice/have a probation officer assigned to them. More so now than before, most of these youth have issues beyond just academics (i.e. Physical or sexual abuse, teen pregnancy, domestic abuse, family disintegration/parental absence, peer pressure, etc.). The presence of a staff social work counselor is designed to not only maintain, but improve on these youths mental health condition so that it no longer presents a negative impact on their academics or their lifestyle choices. In addition, seniors are provided the basic opportunities to engage in socialization and exercise that requires mental calisthenics such as county line dancing and mah jong, helps them to maintain and exercise their critical brain functions. The neighborhood development and neighborhood development and community outreach program (ndcop), provides support services to the low-income and/or immigrant populations living in the housing projects. These services are in part, designed to maintain the mental health of housing project residents who struggle everyday with many of the basics that are taken for granted - food, housing, clothing, educational expenses, culture and language barriers, and violence.

Activity 3

Delinquency program - all of the youth programs (recreation, academic/sports/behavioral modification, in-community treatment program, neighborhood development and community outreach program youth activities, drop-in center, etc.) have as a piece of their goal, preventing juvenile delinquency.
