As participants of this program students will gain healthy socialization, leadership skills, and business ownership skills. SHELP's staff of dedicated professionals will provide a team work approach. The services delivered will teach students how to work together in a cohesive environment, use decision-making skills, develop a solid work ethic and inform them of productive options that are available. Each student will focus on a group and a personal development plan that is designed to address distinct issues. This 6 month program accommodates up to 20, eleventh grade students. Classes will be conducted once a month after-school or on Saturday's for 1 hour and 30 minutes by arrangement of school personnel.
