Youth & Teen Renovations

Description

Youth and Teen Renovations is a nonprofit agency providing mentoring, character development and
Educational programs for primary, middle, and high school youth and teens in the Greater Lehigh Valley
area, starting in Allentown. The program will form partnerships with local school districts, the juvenile
court system, and other youth programs. Youth and Teen Renovations' the goal is to foster a commitment to
young people that will promote positive social friendships, and strong interpersonal skills, and reassert a
sense of hope for a successful life by the time our youth leave the program. Only through personal
relationships can a sense of individual responsibility be reestablished that will give youth the
commitment to follow through on the path to adulthood with a sense of pride and
accomplishment.
Through repeated failures in the classroom and the development of destructive habits, at-risk
young people have lost faith in the possibilities that await them if they are successful in putting their lives
together. To accomplish this goal, young people must be in a caring, inclusive learning
the environment that promotes their best effort and reinforces personal respect and learning
