Youth Development

YWCA Green Bay-De Pere has launched several new initiatives as part of a grant from the U.S. Justice Department.  These important Youth Development programs, with a special focus on at-risk elementary and middle school children who are at-risk or low income, will improve school success to create a foundation for success in life and inspire young people to envision careers that tap into their talents and imagination.

Many parents, especially parents of at-risk children, are concerned with how to help their children succeed in school and/or what their children are doing beyond school hours.  These initiatives engage youth ages 6 to 12 in certified "after school" programs that take place year round.  They will deal with life issues such as peer pressure, alcohol and drugs, bullying, and other activities designed to improve school performance, build self-esteem, establish wholesome relationships and foster self-respect.
