Five (5) Hour Workshop:
The five hour workshop is our core programming. From 10:00 am to 3:00 pm, youth who are referred to the workshop are trained
in Anger Management, Communication Skills, Conflict Resolution, Listening and Journaling. Each session is taught by trained
volunteers from the community. Currently, youth are referred from the Dallas County Truancy Courts. Breakfast, lunch and snacks
are provided to participants. One 45 minute session is done with the youth and the parents. The workshop fee ranges from Free
to $25.00 based on income.
Rap Sessions:
One hour weekly sessions catered to individual youth who are referred to discuss daily school, life and parental conflicts. The
sessions are done in conjunction with the Dallas County Library Teen Centers.
Youth Mock Trials:
The youth mock trial is done in conjunction with partnering City of Dallas and Lancaster County Judges. For eight (8) weeks
during the summer, volunteers work with the youth to memorize a modern day story using a fable such as the Three Little Bears or
Little Red Riding Hood and relate it to an every day situation. The day of the mock trial, the youths deliver their mock trial with the
assistance of real attorneys and the Judge.
Pillow Talk:
Pillow Talk is an overnight program held in August of each year for girls between the ages of 8 and 15. From 6:00 pm until 7:00
am the next morning, the young ladies are engaged in positive and fun workshops geared toward self esteem, conflict resolution
and personal development.
