The students meet once a week to work on different skills, such as communication and conflict resolution. School counselors and teachers can refer students to the program. Both the student and the parents have to agree and give permission for the student to participate.
Teen Leadership Club

Discussion topics are focused on: integrity, listening, and giving directions, examining stereotypes, communication, assertiveness, and other leadership skills. The Teen Leadership group also participates in community service activities. Students portraying leadership skills are selected to participate by the school counselors.
