MyLifeMyPower Program
Link to websiteBy looking at the root causes of the problems listed below, we have learned that we must begin reaching out to our youth at a young age by teaching kids how to set goals, stick to those goals, and work hard to succeed in life. The Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Youth Activities League (Y.A.L.) have already partnered with MLMP's Secrets of a Champion Kid's Program. Our program teaches kids goal setting, mentoring and character building throughout the 8-step program.
To combat the following crises harming today's youth:
Bullying – Obesity – Drugs and Alcohol – Teen Pregnancy – Suicide – Gang Violence – Dropouts
HOW:
In school systems, we install the MLMP club program first into a high school. From there, the high school kids adopt a Jr. high and elementary school. This involves the high school students going into each school one time each month to teach them a different lesson. There are 8 lessons totaling one per month for the academic school year. This can be at lunchtime or after school for 30-60 minutes depending on what works best for the individual school's MLMP Club.
