Building a Stronger
Family and Community
by Empowering Youth

STRONG COMMUNITY:

  • Communities provide a sense of connection and belonging for individuals and families.

  • Strong communities offer a network of support, where people can turn to neighbors and friends for help and companionship.

  • Communities that look out for each other create a safer environment for everyone.

  • Communities can pool resources to provide opportunities and services that benefit all youth members.

  • Strong communities work together to address common challenges and improve the overall quality of life.

The goals of building strong families and communities go hand in hand, creating a ripple effect of support and well-being for the youth.

Here's a breakdown of the objectives for each workshop/class

STRONG FAMILIES:

  • Families play a crucial role in shaping children's emotional, social, and moral development.

  • Strong families foster open and honest communication, where everyone feels heard and respected.

  • Having a common ground in terms of values and goals creates a sense of unity and purpose within the family.

  • Strong families are better equipped to cope with challenges and bounce back from setbacks
