Agape’s current Bridging Hope and Futures program is a monthly in person, hands on, life skills class for teens 14 and over served by Agape for Youth. Each month our team focuses on a life skill in one of our nine program components by utilizing hands on learning, classroom lecture, guest speakers and field trips out in the community. Those nine components are: Independent Living, Physical Health, Mental Health, The Importance of High School, Higher Education, Employment Skills, Housing Options, Community and Environment.
The Expansion
Thanks to the generous donations and grants from the community, we have been able to expand our services and reach to make a larger impact on the youth 14 and over. By expanding the current monthly services offered to include one on one case management, we can provide a more dedicated approach to learning and reach more teens we are serving. Through a specialized treatment plan on independent living skills, the expanded Bridging Hope and Futures allows additional time to work on the specific skills each teen needs to be successful in adulthood. Through this extended service, the goal would be to better equip teens with the skills needed to reduce homelessness after emancipation and increase financial literacy as they are entering adulthood.
