Active Parenting of Teens

 

Active Parenting teaches parents a comprehensive model of parenting that will better enable their teens to survive and thrive in a modern democratic society. Parents will learn mutual respect among family members, nonviolent discipline, problem solving, communication skills training, family enrichment, and encouragement. Sessions are conducted in 2-hour classes per week. Classes are available at different sites and at Friendly House. Classes are free of charge to parents of teens ages 11-19.

Teen Outreach Program

​

TOP is a nine-month group-based youth development program. All youth in the program build a foundation of success from three essential goals; healthy behaviors, life skills and sense of purpose. A crucial part of TOP is the development of supportive relationships with adult facilitators as well as relationships with other peers in the program. The program includes a minimum of 25 curriculum sessions and 20 hours of community service learning. TOP is conducted in a club setting in school or after school. The program is open to youth ages 11-19.
