OUR SERVICES

The Youth Enrichment Program (YEP) is an after school and summer program that provides remedial, tutorial, and mentoring services. The program will serves fifty (50) families with children ages 6 to 18, who have been identified as "at risk."

These youth, male and female are also recruited from the surrounding areas. Youth identified as "at-risk" are children with parents or guardians who work or are otherwise not regularly available to provide supervision during the out-of-school hours.

These children experience greater rise of truancy, poor grades, stress, and risk-taking behavior. Each youth in the program is involved in a broad range of acitivities.

The Youth Enrichment Program is delivered in an array of modules; peer support, parent participation, a mentoring component, and education.

HEALTH AWARENESS

The Family Youth Enrichment CDC has partnered with the University of Nevada Cooperative and our local Health Department to host fairs and clases.

Without a focus and awareness of health related issues, it is impossible to have the type of leadership this community needs now and in the future.

Our Community Health and Fun Fair initiative has been in place for more than 4 years, we have tackled the issues of health education and awareness among our children, teens and seniors.

Our purpose is to promote healthcare awareness and provide information to help families make informed decisions regarding their health care.

We educate the public on the importance of taking steps toward prevention in order to improve the overall quality of life. Given the research and advanced technology, people are living longer and coupled with health care awareness can increase the chance of having a healthier life.

The Family Youth Enrichment CDC is focused on the long-term issues that face our communities.
