TEENSIGHT

GEMS Field Trip July 2011
Donations Requested!  The In-School Pregnant and Parenting Teen Program could use donations to support teen mothers!  Whether it be by purchasing baby supplies during your next grocery visit, or by donating money to help pay for childcare stipends, there's a way you can help keep these girls in school!

Many thanks and deepest appreciation to the Junior League for awarding FOCUS a grant for GEMS field trips!

The Teensight program addresses the problems of teen pregnancy, at-risk youth, and youth unemployment in our community. The program responds to the target populations' demonstrated need for service. The program helps teenagers complete high school or earn GEDs, complete career or vocational training, find employment, find housing, become more responsible parents, and become responsible contributing members of the community.

Teensight offers a variety of services for men and women under the age of 18. All assistance and services are provided free of charge. We have served the youth of our community since August of 1988.

Teensight works with parenting, pregnant and at-risk youth by helping them to complete high school and become responsible parents and community members.  Click here for more information on the In-School Pregnant and Parenting Teen Program (flyer)..

By providing these services to the community, Teensight is also able to work with young adults in other ways. A wide variety of supportive services are often required before many young adults can become completely self-sufficient. Self-sufficiency is composed of many small accomplishments that are frequently taken for granted by most Americans. Teensight recognizes this, and we work hard with participants to facilitate growth, success, and maturity.
