R.O.S.E Academy

The Problem

R.O.S.E Academy, a mentoring program for inner city youth, provides multifaceted mentoring and training activities targeted to youths between the ages of 9 and 18. Topics include Goal-Setting, the staple of the program; Time Management, Interview Skills, Money Management and Communications. The R.O.S.E Academy seeks students with the ability and desire to excel in a demanding yet fun program that is designed to help youth learn the secrets of improving communication and life skills through personal development.

Plan of Action

R.O.S.E Academy is separated into two learning groups Life Skills and Youth Leadership. Life Skills focuses on the development growth of belonging and generosity for our youth between the ages of 9-12 years old. Youth Leadership focuses on the development growth of mastery and independence for our youth between the ages of 13-18 years old. The groups will initially be instructed separately and throughout the course of the program the two groups will intertwine to collaboratively complete workshops. R.O.S.E believes when these growth needs are met then youth have a higher degree of leading a self-secure, pro-social approach to life. Contrary, when these growth needs are not met or lack balance then emotional and behavioral difficulties can ensue. Thus, meeting universal growth needs and enhancing life skills achievement becomes essential components for youth to transition into adulthood.
