Teens will also have the opportunity to learn and grow by participating in:
- Listening to professional speakers
- Participating in educational components such as robotics and arts
- Planning and volunteering with various service projects
Our goal is for teens to learn to work together, learn new skills, gain better decision making and conflict resolution skills, while discovering something new about themselves.
