We would like to introduce the TEEN
LIFE CENTER, nicknamed TLC, a project with our youth as its direct
recipients. Our mission is to provide the teens in our community with
"Something better to do"; a safe place to come to that is free from
the alcohol, drugs and violence that may surround them.
To be
successful we must offer
programs, activities, and
services that actively compete
for the time and attention of
our high school and middle
school youth. Boredom, peer and
parental pressure, and lack of
attractive and enriching choices
of leisure time activities have
plagued the teenage population
for generations.
Our Community thirsts for a
center which will meet the needs
of its teenagers.
We
will facilitate activities including after school programs, computer
center, dances,
game nights, mentorship, job training, skilled trades and other
recreational programs, utilizing both trained facilitators as well
as volunteers from a variety related agencies and organizations
including our own county programs and services available.
Further, we will provide specified group learning in cooperation
with the principles of 12 step support programs, to aid the
community and its stakeholders in properly addressing at-risk teens,
their core-issues and rehabilitation under the trained eye of our
experienced instructors. The communities’ participation in the
restoration of its youth will benefit not only the young individuals
but the locale in which they reside.
We believe in our community, its families and especially, its youth.
In conjunction with any excellent program is its supporters; the
value of working as a team, utilizing the people, agencies and
energy of its location. Foley Foundation looks forward to
significantly aiding our youth, and further, their futures of
emotional, spiritual, educational and drug-free excellence.
We look forward to making the Teen Life Center (TLC) a successful
model for other communities. In hopes to create a better future for
our teens, we are asking for your help in funding this project. With
your donations we can succeed in helping our teens become a part of
our community. We want to build that model of success for us and
other cities. Let us be the first to succeed!
