The Intersection is more than just an “after-school” program.
Our goal is to actively engage our community in becoming
a healthy place where all its members can grow and learn.
The Intersection is about:
- Involving young people who live in at-risk neighborhoods in positive activities in a safe place where they receive caring adult attention.
- Developing personal assets such as honesty, restraint, and public service in young people.
- Involving youth in a dynamic community where they matter.
- Developing social competencies and leadership skills.
- Empowering youth to believe in their value as contributors to the larger society.
- Helping young people feel optimistic about their future.
Mission
The Intersection is an independent, non-profit, non-sectarian organization whose mission is to promote the development of healthy community and invite youth to actively participate to make that idea a reality.
We talk passionately about hope for a bright future for our youth and about hope for a healthy, prosperous community even while we equip tomorrows leaders with life values such as honesty, respect, decision making/planning skills and a concern for social justice and the needs of others.
