A program that works!

I chose the Title XX program. It is a Chicago Area Program that helps youth develop a positive attitude towards education and skill development. This program wants to help set a path for youth in the future. They learn to handle the adult world and the broader community. It is directed toward the ages of 7 through 17, these are the most critical stages of growth. They focus on youth who, without constructive activities and community support, are likely to enter into delinquent activities and risk being caught in the juvenile justice system. This program has helped over 32,000 youth since 1979.The settings for these programs are in the communities with the highest rates of juvenile delinquency in the Chicagoland Area. The program provides safe places where caring, dedicated adults believe in helping to shape the future and the youth and the community in which they live. Title XX activities address the changing needs of youth and focus on education, counseling, culture, sports, workshops, field trips, and recreation.

This is a very dedicated program toward youth. It gives them something to look forward to. It makes them think positive and not to think about all the negative situations that life can bring. You can get distraction by numerous situations and this program will give you the focus you need. I also like that they have counseling to the youth and to their family. They want to reach out and help everyone near the surroundings. I believe that this program is very effective. The only thing that I would change is the age limit. I think that it should go up to the age of 19. I believe that many people need help with starting off college. There are so many question asked when entering college. I think that this program can help answer some questions and can even help with finding colleges, scholarships, and grants. In the near future, I plan to make a program to help youth.
