Youth Services
Jane Addams Hull House Association provides services for 6-to-21-year old youth populations, though a diverse array of programs and activities during non-traditional after school hours. Our programs provide an outlet for community youth who are at risk of becoming victims of violence, substance abuse or who are impacted by health issues. Our programs aid youth in acquiring skills and information that assist them in avoiding behavior(s) that will negatively impact their lives. Activities focus on academic support, life skills prevention education, violence intervention, mentoring, community service, nutrition and physical activity and the cultural arts.
Program Goals:
- Help youth increase their self-esteem, decision-making, leadership, and communication skills
- Provide youth with adult and peer support systems that encourage and reinforce positive choices
- Provide youth prevention strategies to reduce their vulnerability for at-risk behaviors
- Provide youth with fun, engaging alternatives that reward them for making healthy life decisions
- Provide youth opportunities to be positive change agents for their schools, families and communities
- Increase the overall awareness and involvement of other community stakeholders to help support youth development needs in the community
