SCEC Youth Academy

Designed to support youth during their out-of-school time, these programs include academic tutoring, mentor-ship, girl's self defense, other various enrichment activities, and job readiness training. Our programs emphasize educational and workforce development along with social-emotional growth and general wellness.

Poverty often means a lack of life essentials such as food and personal hygiene supplies, which can lead to academic and personal limitations. To address those needs we gather supplies to distribute food boxes and personal hygiene kits. Register below for Youth Food Boxes.

 The Girls Circle model is a structured support group for girls and youth who identify with female development from 9-18 years. It integrates relational theory, resiliency practices, and skills training in a specific format designed to increase positive connection, personal and collective strengths, and competence in girls. 

 The Boy's Council is strengths-based group approach to promote boys’ and young men’s safe and healthy passage through pre-teen and adolescent years. In this structured environment, boys and young men gain the vital opportunity to address masculine definitions and behaviors and build their capacities to find their innate value and create good lives - individually and collectively!
