Although teens are on the path to adulthood, they’re still at an age where decisions are often made for them. They’re told where to go, who or who not to hang out with, and what to learn at school. After 25 years of serving youth, North Star Youth Partnership, a program of Catholic Charities, understands the value of making students active participants in their own education.
As children grow up, they realize that their world is bigger than they thought. They begin to see that they are part of a community and that their actions can either help or hurt that community. That’s why North Star Youth Partnership, a program of Catholic Charities, provides recreational, leadership, and service-learning opportunities to help youth be confident, healthy, and active in their communities.
