Cyber Safety

This is a two-session class. The first class is for parents/guardians and will focus on educating caregivers about the various social networking websites being utilized by today’s youth and the risks associated with social media use. The second class combines the youth and caregiver and will focus on how to stay safe when using various social networking websites.

Girls Rock!


This class is four sessions, and each session is two and a half hours. Participants are encouraged to speak freely about their emotions. The program focuses on issues of self-respect, self-image, and feelings of self-worth. In addition, the class discusses how the lack of positive self-image can result in anger issues. Youth are encouraged to discover their personal value and learn to control negative emotions and anger.

The classes use structured activities to increase awareness and provide suggestions for actions. The program encourages youth to evaluate and examine their behavior more closely. Parents are required to attend a brief orientation the first night of class.

Further, youth learn they must be accountable for their actions. Facilitators encourage each participant to be a VIP (Very Important Person) who has vision, initiative, and perseverance.

Start Something
