What to Expect
Child and Youth Skill Development provides group sessions presented by facilitators that focus on skill development for children and youth. Children and youth focus on sessions that support critical thinking skills, intellectual growth, and identity development. Curriculum content and schedules are tailored based on the age and needs of participants.
How to Access the Program
Referrals are accepted from any community member, including self-referral. If there is a referral that cannot be accepted due to programming being full, or the group is in process, the child/youth will be placed on a waitlist monitored by the Program Supervisor and will be provided service at the next available time.
Exit from the program is based on the achievement of goals. Participation is voluntary and someone can stop accessing services at anytime.
McMan's core values of commitment, trust, respect, empathy, and genuineness are ingrained in each portion of service delivery.
