Teen hood is a life stage often equated with fun, discovery, angst, freedom and transition. Millennials & Generation Z Teenagers are exposed to life from a very tender age. They are exposed to more, asked to understand more, and driven to fight for more. Their pitfalls hence spiral from Social media addictions, Unsupervised internet usage, Cyber-bullying, Esteem issues, Abuse & pedaling of drugs, Gang recruitments, Teen pregnancies, Sexting, Peer pressure, Unsafe sexual exploration amongst many others.
There are no magic answers; it just helps to have a framework that is godly, practical and relatable to this age-group & that gives them a sense of belonging & clear godly identity before the world defines them otherwise.
In a society that seeks to inject secular worldviews to this naive age group, capitalize on them and trap them for life, we choose to see them as God sees them. To God they are precious. Worthy of protection and unconditional love.
The task is great, the challenges are overwhelming, but with our undying passion for this generation and God on our side, we believe our effort through our Teen Mentorship Programs-counts!
Teen life is dedicated to helping teenagers (High School) develop a deeper understanding of who they are while building strong positive relationships. Using a character – based framework to look critically at topics such as Relationship and Boundaries, Communication, Peer Counselling, Academics and Career, Self Esteem, Teenage independence, Drug and Substance abuse and Sexuality Media messages, Cliques, Bullying, Peer Pressure and Healthy lifestyle. Teen Life empowers teenagers to love themselves for who they are.
provide stability, direction and guidance, security and hope to this delicate age group who are in dire need to make the right choices daily. The program is designed to embrace and empower every young person and give them a firm foundation to build upon in their life while in schools, homes and in the community. We offer a wide variety of cognitive programs in addition to academic skills and belabor on core topics such as Self/ Personal development, Spiritual growth, Tackling teen hood life issues, Discovering one’s purpose and Social activities. This is achieved through the means of open discussions, small groups and teambuilding challenges.
For the last few years, our team of trainers and facilitators have proven that camps provide uninterrupted opportunity to impact the teenagers with positive values. An extended time with the teenagers enables us mold them more, share our stories and gives us a chance to get sufficient feedback thus making our objectives achievable.
On the other hand, it enables the teenagers build trust with their peers, build their esteem and improve on their social and leadership skills as they tackle different teambuilding and digital challenges. Trust with the present authority figures in the camp also builds, thus creating positive relationships necessary for effective mentorship.
Through leadership, academic support, guidance and mentoring, our dedicated mentors and volunteers motivate teenagers to develop a positive sense of self, build character and explore career options. We offers Mentorship Programs that foster teamwork and strengthen individual spirit, mind and body through both one-on-one relationships and group mentoring services.
We have seen a tremendous change in the lives of the teenagers who have attended our previous sessions and programs. In our follow ups, we discovered that their grades in school and their relationships back at home with parents and siblings had improved significantly.
The success of the previous programs was made possible by the partnership of parents, schools, churches and the Teen Life team members.
Kindly join this group of partners in making this program a greater reality and an encounter with Christ worth remembering for our teenagers; as we make disciples for Christ and create reliable global citizens.
