Program Goals
The goals of this program are three-fold.
- First, the young women in the program will acquire a fundamental knowledge of urban survival skills and the community resources available to enhance their skills in those areas through classes taught by expert guest speakers.
- Second, the young women will have no further delinquent referrals in the juvenile justice system.
- and third, the participants will learn how to obtain a variety of community services for themselves and their families.
The program consists of two evening classes per week for six weeks, with each class meeting from 6:00PM to 7:30PM. A different topic and speaker are presented each class for a total of twelve topics in all. The classes are offered in two different locations in Oklahoma City; Monday and Wednesday on the North side and Tuesday and Thursday on the South side.
We realize that it may not be possible to provide anything more than a few basic concepts during the one and a half hour class. Our objective is to develop the girl's knowledge of the resources available to them when they need help, and to promote a relationship with the agencies represented by the speakers.
