The Program
Our goal is not to just teach youth from the Juvenile Probation Department how to just hit a ball. We teach them social skills to learn how to hit through problems associated with school behavior, social development, and youth on youth violence. We teach these youth skills of conflict resolution, proper communication dialogue, and social interaction skills. We work with at-risk youth and their families to provide corrective action concerning school truancy, illiteracy development and behavioral problems associated with school and social development.
