Teens and tweens: grades 6-8 - for middle schoolers or "tweens," our club provides a safe space to gather with friends, have fun, explore interests, and succeed academically. Middle schoolers have time to complete their homework, explore elective subjects through our arts and science offerings, and participate in sports and games. Tweens also have a chance to become involved in community service through our torch club to introduce young people to the inherent rewards of community service. Tweens have the opportunity to participate in smart girls or passport to manhood which helps them build up positive self-esteem, body image, and a sense of personal identity and responsibility. (continued on schedule o)grades 9-12 - at grenville baker boys & girls club, we offer teens in grades 9-12 a holistic, positive, and practical approach to preparing for a college education and a productive and fulfilling future. Of note, many of the young people in our teen programs come from homes where english is not the primary language spoken and where they will be the first in their family to attend college. As such, our efforts focus on helping teens prepare academically for high school graduation and college entrance exams, and by exposing them to enriching cultural, leadership, and special interest experiences that will help guide them as they consider their futures.our expected outcome is for all our teens to be on track to graduate from high school on time and to go on to college. We encourage this outcome through a number of programmatic initiatives. For example, through "project learn and stem programs, on a daily basis, our teens participate in high-yield learning activities, reinforcing their reading and math skills and focusing on their ability to analyze data, think critically and solve problems. Our staff works with our teens to strengthen their english and essay writing skills as part of the college prep program. Teens also receive technology training to strengthen their research skills needed for college searches and projects for school. The financial literacy needed for college is provided through a comprehensive program called money matters for both teens. And our keystone club provides opportunities for our teens to build their leadership and personal skills and to give back to their community while building their resumes and their confidence.to help them envision their futures and find the right fit, our teens visit universities and colleges in the tri-state area on days off from school, as well as through multi-day and night college tours to visit schools during school breaks. For our high school seniors, one-on-one assistance is provided to complete applications for admissions, scholarships, and financial aid.we also encourage teens to broaden their horizons through cultural and new experiences. In the past, this has come in the form of our "city club," which took kids to various cultural venues in New York city. The success of our program relies on the strength of the mentoring relationships developed by our staff. The club also offers programs in performing and visual arts to foster creative expression.
