Our Mission…

Helping Youth Overcome Barriers

Today’s urban youth face many barriers. Encounters with marginalization and alienation continue to create obstacles for these youth as they pursue goals and strive to reach their optimal potential. Such disparities often have a negative impact on youth self-efficacy and self- esteem. Our mission is to provide activity-based programs for at-risk youth and youth with disabilities ages 8-18, empowering them to reach their highest potential.

 

What We Do…

  • E-Mentoring (new during COVID-19)
  • Empowerment Programs

How We Do It…

Our Staff and Volunteers

The ESTEEM Group Project

The Premier Program of Urban Therapeutic Solutions

The ESTEEM Group Project is an interactive activity-based program with a focus on self-esteem building. Participants engage in group activities related to current and historical events that include racial discrimination and social justice. Through a variety of activities, participants learn  coping skills, how to resolve conflicts and strategies to enhance their self-worth  in a world which often devalues them.
