Thresholds

 
This program uses a six step decision making model that is offered to youth detained at the Chester County Youth Center for the purpose of empowering them to learn how to set goals and create realistic plans on how to reach them, as well as, to learn the difference between making a decision and reacting. The hope is that this knowledge will positively impact their lives, and in essence, their communities, in the future.

Volunteer working experiences with at-risk youth can be found with Thresholds which holds programs at both the Chester County and Delaware County Youth Centers.  Find more information at http://thresholdsdelco.org/
