Youth Outcomes
Each year we see significant growth in self-control, effort, teamwork, and social responsibility (S.E.T.S.) among youth from pre to post programming.
Over the course of 2 years, these data showcase the impact of the program on our most vulnerable youth over a 2 year period. Youth use these social skills at home, school, and in the community.
