The Teen Empowerment initiatives take youth off the streets after school and on the weekends when acts of mischief, crime, or violence can occur. Younger youth, who are eager to grow up, are especially vulnerable. Banister’s Teen Empowerment projects, the Youth Advocacy Leadership Boards, The Night L.I.F.E.(Leadership in Fun Environment) and the Levels of Leadership Support provide strong role models and guidance as youth develop. Staff foster individual leadership styles to help youth understand human relations issues and to discover their role and responsibilities in the classroom, community and workplace.
Throughout their journey, youth will examine and share their personal values, traditions and beliefs while working together to create a healthy community. Youth will learn about themselves and each other to create a deeper understanding, awareness, and knowledge of how to articulate issues of difference such as, race, culture, faith, gender, age, ability, sexual orientation and class. In addition to these valuable life skills, youth also earn a renewed sense of confidence, and will be able to identify and confront the biases, prejudices, and deep-rooted issues that may emerge in their student, personal and professional lives.
