Reconnecting Youth |
| Reconnecting Youth (RY) is a school-based prevention program for youth in grades nine through twelve (ages 14-18)
who are at risk of dropping out of school. These youth may also exhibit multiple behavior problems, such as substance abuse,
aggression, depression, or suicide risk. Reconnecting Youth uses a partnership model involving peers, school personnel,
and parents to deliver interventions that address the three central program goals. The RY teacher will implement the curriculum
and help students work toward the three goals of decreasing drug and alcohol involvement, increase school performance,
and decrease emotional distress. The RY teacher assists students who participate in a semester-long high school class that
involves skills training in the context of positive peer culture. RY students learn, practice, and apply self-esteem enhancement
strategies, design making skills, personal control and interpersonal communication techniques, lead by the RY instructor.
This program is currently based at Taft High. |
