Nature's Edge Therapy Center, Inc. is now offering:

"Youth of Promise"

Nature’s Edge Therapy Center Inc. is offering a “Youth of Promise” program for ten weeks this summer.  The program will run Mondays and Fridays, June 14 2010 to August 16 2010.  We are looking for participants between the ages of 12 to 18 that may have various difficulties.  Those difficulties might include poor grades, depression, alcohol and/or drug abuse, frequent outburst of anger, inappropriate behavior, family conflicts, or difficulty with social interactions.  The youth will work very close with well trained staff and volunteers in small groups on several different projects.  The projects include arts & crafts, woodworking, horticulture & landscaping, small animal grooming/training, and large animal grooming/training.  On the evening of April 22 from 4 to 7p.m. an open house will be held for the community to come and view some of the past projects that have been completed, and some the future activities in the program.  This program provides an opportunity for the youths to learn responsibility, socialization skills, and leadership skills with a motivational and natural environment.  The program is offered to the surrounding areas, in corporation with local schools and businesses.  The program is a small cost of $300. The program ends with a trip to Valley Fair which is included with the $300 fee.
