Jul. 25–A new round of effective parenting classes from the Parent Outreach Program is scheduled to begin soon, offered by the Young Women’s Outreach Center.
“Parents Perspective of Effective Parenting,” will meet from 3-5 p.m. Thursdays for six weeks, beginning Aug. 14.
There will be a small gathering and certificate of completion for everyone who finishes the sessions. Registrations for parents or individuals will be accepted through Aug. 14.
Parenting involves supporting the development of healthy behaviors in children by setting sufficient lifestyle models through communicating and providing healthy beliefs and clear standards. YWOC helps those in parenting roles meet these criteria.
The center provides counseling, education, youth and family support, life development skills, after-school/summer programs, mentoring, teen pregnancy prevention, referrals, employment training and a Family Resource Center. It offers tools to build children’s futures, with goals for them to become productive, independent contributors to their family and to their community.
YWOC is a private, non-profit organization whose primary purpose is to improve the welfare of individuals, males and females, and their families by keeping them abreast of education and prevention methods.
