Youth Group Programs

Choices Program

This program is an eight-session early intervention tool designed to teach young people a number of very important and valuable basic life skills. During the eight sessions, we examine the importance of positive decision making, values, communication, and victim awareness/empathy. We also explore the personal value systems and how they help influence our decisions.
