Youth Programs
Our Youth Programs are designed to give students an opportunity for great academic success by creating an environment where children can constructively interact with each other and with mentoring adults. We work with the Riverside Unified School District to achieve these goals. Program activities include:

Final Exam Study
Mentorship Opportunities
College and Career Preparation

Anger Management and other emotional crisis counseling
Sessions are facilitated by qualified professionals and college students. Participants will receive group and individual instruction in general subjects, such as Math, English, Science, and History.
The Out-Of-School Suspension Program- This program was designed to provide academic support and mentoring for youth in Riverside County schools who have been suspended. By providing services in this program S.O.A.R. effectively reduces criminal behavior and deliquency. The project will also offer additional services as needed and will refer participants to appropropriate services.
According to the Riverside Unified School Districts, a large number of students are suspended from school on a monthly basis. These students are then unsupervised and most spend their days in non-productive and risky behavior. Additionally, since they are barrred from the classroom, they are unable to obtain their school work and, subsequently, they fall further behind. The S.O.A.R. Project offers these students a safe and monitored educational envirment during their suspension period. S.O.A.R. is given access to their assignments so that the students do not fall behind in their school work. They also receive guidance counseling as well as emotional support during their suspension from school.
