High school students return to school refreshed, renewed, and enthusiastic. The Youth Council is ready to provide programming. Their programs seek to harness students’ energy and eagerness and give them opportunities to develop and grow. RYC is looking forward to building on the wonderful programs they have offered in the past while continuing to look ahead and keep on top of current trends affecting the adolescent population locally, nationally, and globally.
Here are some of their current offerings.
“We work with the youth to utilize experiential learning programs (where they are given opportunities to practice skills they have acquired in real life situations), offering speakers and workshops on topics that impact the adolescent population today (stress; coping skills; teen dating violence/controlling relationships; alcohol and drug use and experimentation; body image issues; and a host of other topics), as well as bringing teens to conferences where they meet with other teens from across Westchester County to discuss issues critical to adolescent development.”
