We are seeking support for year 2 for an opportunity to continue this much needed support for our children.
Commitment to Youth Development
THE SAFE HAVEN is an alternative program for students suspended from their school. The program supports students and their families partnership with each school's principal.
Students are recommended by the school principal. Parents demonstrate their support by signing the a registration agreement along with their student. The parent is expected to make arrangements for their child to arrive on time and to be picked-up at the end of the day. Transportation is not currently available for students not living within walking distance.
Each student is expected to arrive with a homework packet that will be completed during their suspension. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens is used as the core cirriculum for behavior coaching.
