Youth Development
Youth Development Programs
COA Youth & Family Centers' commitment to the community involves a wide range of services for youth ages 7 to 18. Activities include athletics and field trips, computers, arts and crafts, drama, creative writing, homework help
, and a variety of special interest clubs. Programs run at COA's Riverwest Center and Goldin Center.
As our youth mature, they face many choices and challenges. COA Youth & Family Centers designs programs to address the many issues of importance to today's families, while also allowing kids to "just be kids" in a safe, nurturing, and fun environment. Our activities reinforce positive decision making and problem solving, while helping youth to build strong leadership skills and to believe in their own ability to succeed.
