Programs for Adults & Youth

Courage for Youth offers a number of programs in which adults and young people participate together. Check the Events page for program dates.

Family Connections Retreat

Through our alliance with True Connections, an organization that provides personal and professional development programs, Courage for Youth offers a Family Connections Retreat designed to re-build bridges for positive relationship development within families. One parent/guardian and one teen (age 13-18) participate in an interactive weekend of finding new ways to communicate, to understand and accept individual differences, and to forgive and make way for new beginnings.

Parent - Youth Workshops & Retreats

Workshops and retreats are offered periodically throughout the year. They help parents and teens stay connected, build communication skills, and re-establish closeness.

Role models for today's teens are not powerful women who have succeeded because of their persistence and kindness to others, but rather superstar singers acting like sexy schoolgirls and movie stars firing machine guns or using martial arts on opponents while wearing skintight jumpsuits. ... It is our role as adults to guide young women to form more positive self-identities, which will in turn lead to more supportive relationships with others." (Girl Wars, Cheryl Dellasega & Charisse Nixon)
