CHECK OUT THE SUMMER PROGRAMS!

By stopping by, you can see the dates and times of our weekly programs!

3rd Street Outreach Squad: 10 youth are trained extensively in STI prevention and outreach techniques. The youth in the squad make presentations about STIs at high schools around the city, pass out condoms and sexual health literature at various venues and conduct agency outreach about our medical and behavioral health services at community events.

Boys’/Girls’ Boxing Group: Combines boxing training with group counseling, offering a dynamic approach to violence prevention. The boxers discuss the violence in their lives and how boxing has changed them. They gain an appreciation for boxing as more that a sport, exercise or entertainment, but as a very challenging journey of self-exploration and self-improvement.
