Youth Development

Many OICs offer programming to address the unique needs of youth. Many of the programs engage youth within their communities, schools, organizations, peer groups, and families in a productive and constructive manner. Programs are designed to recognize, utilize, and enhance youths’ strengths and promote positive outcome by providing positive relationships, support, and opportunities for youth to enhance their interests, skills, and abilities. Program offerings may include but are not limited to: after school interest groups, cultural activities and hobbies; exercise and sports; volunteer service opportunities; mentoring; and teenage pregnancy prevention and other health-supports.
