I collaborated with the Ron Wood Family Resource Center at their offices to offer two summer classes for teens on transitioning into adulthood. My co-teachers (one from Ron Wood; one from a State agency) presented the material in a way that intrigued the youth. They made sure our students knew about several other resources available through the community. They made the class a safe, fun, engaging place to learn about the rights and responsibilities that come with adulthood. (The Ron Wood Center also provided refreshments, which was just plain awesome!)
The Ron Wood Family Resource Center offers many other services. I've seen schedules for other classes (nutrition, breast-feeding, early childhood development, etc.); I've seen families get groceries; I've seen teens get help applying for college admissions, financial aid, and internships.
