Our Self-Empowering Workshop for 11th & 12th grade students along with our "Get Set Mindset" workshop for Junior High students is an opportunity for college bound high school students and their parents to obtain tools that will address the social aspect of college and high school readiness.
This workshop addresses in an age-appropriate manner, the needs expressed by students and their parents for tools that would heighten awareness, and create solutions as they navigate the many challenges which can interfere with college success. These challenges include: concerns about navigating the high school culture, internet and social media, issues regarding separation from home, time management, money management, values, peer pressure, peer relationships, study habits, alcohol, drugs and sex.
Your Time For Creative Empowerment Inc. “Get Set Mindset” workshop for Junior High School students will offer tools that will assist our youth with the successful navigation of social, academic and other areas of high school life.
