WHO
WE ARE
Community Teen Coalition is a youth enrichment program designed to generate the skills and motivation necessary for success in post-secondary and entrepreneurship education. Under-served youth ages 8-18 tackle important issues such as childhood illiteracy, peer pressure, low self-esteem, homelessness, gangs, and drug prevention so that they may develop healthy self images and life skills.

-
Empower the community to become involved in the lives of our youth, making them aware of important issues affecting the community as a whole.
-
Maintain contact with school officials and staff for status reports on the progression of students in the program.
-
Invest in the professionalism of Community Teen Coalition through a staff that is licensed and experienced in the field.

Partner with existing organizations to expand services through career centers and job placement.
-
Facilitate weekly group, individual, and family sessions to address family and peer interactions, emotional disturbances, and community related issues.
