Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
DURING 2023 WE PROVIDED ADVENTURE PROGRAMMING, EDUCATION ASSISTANCE THROUGH TUTORING, AND FOOD/EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES TO 67 INDIVIDUAL YOUTH. THESE PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES PROVIDED KIDS WITH TWO THINGS THAT GREATLY INCREASE THEIR CHANCES OF SUCCESS. FIRST, THEY HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO FACE AND OVERCOME SELF-DOUBT. OUR EDUCATION AND ADVENTURE PROGRAMS ALLOW KIDS TO GROW IN CONFIDENCE THROUGH LEARNING TO THINK CRITICALLY, EMBRACE CHALLENGES, PERSEVERE IN THE FACE OF SETBACKS, AND PUSH THE BOUNDARIES OF WHAT THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE CAPABLE. SECOND, WE GIVE THEM OPPORTUNITIES TO CONNECT WITH POSITIVE ADULT AND PEER MENTORS. HAVING CONSISTENT, TRUSTING RELATIONSHIPS WITH MENTORS WHO BELIEVE IN THEM HELPS THEM TO START BELIEVING IN THEMSELVES.
