SMART Moves uses a team approach that involves Club staff, peer leaders, parents and community representatives. Young people ages 6 to 15 engage in discussion and role-playing, practicing resilience and refusal skills, developing assertiveness, strengthening, decision-making skills and analyzing media and peer influence. The ultimate goal is to promote abstinence from substance abuse and adolescent sexual involvement through the practice of responsible behavior.
Our amazing staff ensures that our members are exposed to the magnificant art that surrounds our Island. In addition, we focus on bringing new ideas to develop the whole child.
The primary emphasis of this program is to encourage youth to become knowledgeable about who they are as individuals, to engage in self-reflection and self-expression, and to appreciate and respect themselves as well as others.
SMART Girls is a small-group health, fitness, prevention/education and self-esteem enhancement program designed to meet the developmental needs of girls in three age groups, spanning ages 8 to 18. Through dynamic sessions, participatory activities, field trips and mentoring opportunities with adult women, Club girls explore their own and societal attitudes and values as they build skills for eating right, staying physically fit, getting good health care, and developing positive relationships with peers and adults.
Passport to Manhood represents a targeted effort to engage young boys in discussions and activities that reinforce character, leadership and positive behavior. Each participant receives a “passport” to underscore the notion that he is on a personal journey of maturation and growth. Each of the program’s 14 sessions use interactive activities to focus on a specific aspect of character and manhood. It also includes a service project where boys learn the importance of giving back to the community.
I Am My Sistah provides leadership development, rites of passage and entrepreneurial skills training for girls ages 12-18. We focus on enhancing the emotional well-being of girls, while empowering them to build and grow a sisterhood; sustaining them a life time. These life tools will assist participants with understanding the importance of their strengths and how to positively impact their fellow sister and community.
