Youth Enrichment Programs
Enrichment programs provide the foundation of self-sufficiency and self-awareness to become leaders in the community. These workshops enrich youth with leadership, life and social skills enabling them to becoming valuable assets and effective leaders in society. BLA Leadership in Action 101 curriculum also enriches the lives of their families with community connections, resources and additional services. BLA's Leadership in Action 101 aims to extend academic successes through character learning that ensures the participants successfully plan, manage and implement leadership skills in a community, as well as in an academic setting.
The Teen Empowerment initiatives take youth off the streets after school and on the weekends when acts of mischief, crime, or violence can occur. Younger youth, who are eager to grow up, are especially vulnerable. Banister's Teen Empowerment projects, the Youth Advocacy Leadership Boards, The Night L.I.F.E.(Leadership in Fun Environment) and the Levels of Leadership Support provide strong role models and guidance as youth develop. Staff foster individual leadership styles to help youth understand human relations issues and to discover their role and responsibilities in the classroom, community and workplace.
Throughout their journey, youth will examine and share their personal values, traditions and beliefs while working together to create a healthy community. Youth will learn about themselves and each other to create a deeper understanding, awareness, and knowledge of how to articulate issues of difference such as, race, culture, faith, gender, age, ability, sexual orientation and class. In addition to these valuable life skills, youth also earn a renewed sense of confidence, and will be able to identify and confront the biases, prejudices, and deep-rooted issues that may emerge in their student, personal and professional lives.
