Skills Mastery and Resistance Training is a nationally acclaimed
comprehensive prevention program that helps young people to resist
alcohol, tobacco and other drug use, as well as premature sexual
activity. The program features engaging, interactive small group
activities designed to increase participants' peer support, enhance
their life skills, build their resiliency and strengthen their
leadership skills. This year-round program encourages collaborations
among Club staff, youth, parents and representatives from other
community organizations. The program's components include: SMART Kids
(children ages 6-9), Start SMART (youth ages 10-12), Stay SMART (youth
ages 13-15), and SMART Parents (parents of Club members participating in
SMART Moves).
The
Ultimate Journey: (15 to 20 members)
This internationally recognized, award-winning environmental education
program leads Club members (ages 6-12) on a fun filled journey into the
beautiful and amazing world of plants and animals. Through
participation in games, crafts and discovery based activities, young
people develop an awareness of the environment, acquire a better
understanding of how human actions affect nature, reinforce math and
science skills and learn about conservation of our natural resources.
Cooking
and Nutrition: (12 young women)
We are very lucky to have a cooperative Extension Specialist Miss Daisy
to help with this very well-attended Program. We provide the food, and
she provides the planning and implementation. The menu is always
prepared with good nutritional practices and there are a wide variety of
foods cooked. Club members learn safe kitchen practices while waiting
for the finished product, a hearty snack.
