Wyman Center, Inc.
Mission:
More than 30 years of youth development research is identifying key factors that help young people prepare for success in family life, social relationships, economic self-sufficiency and civic life. At the same time, researchers and demographers, as well as concerned parents, educators and youth work practitioners, have good reason to be concerned about the struggles faced by many of today''s parents, families and schools, the very places that once contributed so wholesomely to the development of young people. To address this urgent need, Wyman is preparing young people for success in three critical areas of life: healthy family and social relationships; economic self-sufficiency; and community involvement. We''re accomplishing this by teaching youth to be productive in school and work; to connect to community and family; and to be able to navigate in diverse environments and make healthy choices. Wyman''s philosophy, grounded in the most current national research, is that keeping young people "problem free" is simply not enough. We must help them be "fully prepared" to lead successful lives and build strong communities.
