Description:

The POWER Program is designed to help meet the needs of youth and their supportive adults.
The POWER Program is a 12 hour class that is split into four, three hour sessions (Tuesday and Thursday evenings for 2 weeks). We have volunteers from USD 259, WPD, KCOM, and multiple other community organizations throughout Sedgwick County. The POWER Program sessions will start every month and class sizes will be limited so we can focus on the needs of the youth attending that particular class. Dinner will be provided at each session. When the class is completed, the youth will earn a certificate of completion and get to pick one of our many incentives. Attendance is required at all four sessions. We provide youth and their supportive adults with resources and services to prevent further involvement with law enforcement and the juvenile justice system. The POWER Program is very interactive, with engaging games and activities.
