Teen CORE
Teen CORE is a comprehensive case management and counseling program that offers cultural enrichment activities, educational guidance, and mental health services to girls ages 12 – 17. Teen CORE works primarily with young women who may lack healthy self images. The Program exposes its clients to positive behaviors and activities that help them discover, define, and develop their own identities. We help them nurture a healthy self-confidence and encourage them to make life-affirming changes that will impact, empower, and mobilize themselves.
Teen CORE increases its clients’:
- Attachment to school
- Exposure to educational opportunities
- Awareness of pregnancy and STD prevention
- Capacity to promote their own health and wellness
Throughout the school year, Westside Teen CORE offers psycho-educational support groups in the public school setting. During the summer, Teen CORE girls take weekly field trips. Common summer outing destinations include:
- College tours
- Museum visits
- Six Flags Marine World
- Art festivals
REQUIREMENTS
Participants must be female and between the ages of 12 and 17.
