YouthCentric

We are excited to launch our Matched for Good program at North Cobb High School beginning this Fall! We spent a fun morning on North Cobb’s campus today shooting promo videos with some of our talented College Leaders.

Day 2 of our first B3 Experience Program is in the books! Today was all about learning styles, study skills, testing skills & homework habits mixed in with some competitive 9 Square, paper airplanes, and pool noodle rollercoaster.

A Big Day at YouthCentric as we officially launched our new B3 Experience Program for rising 9th graders to help prepare them for a successful transition into high school! Today’s focus was learning about personality styles and conflict resolution skills. And of course, fun games, snacks, and meeting our talented group of Summer College Leaders. We will be with these students all week.

A fun couple of days shooting videos with our talented College Leaders! New Social Media content coming soon!

We are excited to introduce our Spring 2024 College Leaders team!

Another fun week in our Matched for Good Program!

We are excited to have Hannah interning with us this Semester!

We are looking forward to kicking off our 2024 Programs! Some of our college leaders got together over the weekend for a little fun and to shoot some new video content.

As 2023 comes to an end, it is important to reflect on this past year by thinking about your experiences and interpreting them to move on into 2024!

Getting geared up for the Fall Semester! We have enjoyed the opportunity to meet & recruit high school students over the past few weeks for our after school programs kicking off in September.

Local high schools were on Spring Break this week so we were able to spend a fun afternoon with some of our incredible College Staff Leaders shooting videos for our Social Media accounts.

Incredible job by this passionate, innovative group of Marietta High School students wanting to make a difference in their community. Thankful to have them a part of our program.

Students from Marietta High School, working through the YouthCentric program, prepared 50 food boxes— complete with nutritional information, recipes, and how-to videos in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. They will be distributed for Marietta City Schools families at the FPC Marietta pantry in the weeks to come!

Lots of fun and a terrific day! Very proud of this group of MHS student leaders that we have been honored to have in our program. Great job!

At year’s end, YouthCentric has a lot of exciting news. In January, our first programs will launch! AND we’ve hired our first employee -- a social media coordinator! On the horizon is the establishment of the first YouthCentric brick and mortar location in Cobb County.

However, there is also some disturbing news. According to federal data just released, the teenage mental health crisis is deepening, with 76% of school faculty and staff reporting concern about depression, anxiety, and trauma in students during this academic year. We must do as much as we can as fast as we can.

As we work diligently to open that center, we need to raise $30,000 in donations. As you contemplate year end giving, we hope that you will give to YouthCentric. You can contribute here: https://youthcentric.org/donate/

The YouthCentric Board is deeply grateful for your commitment to providing a bright future for teenagers. Thank you for being right there with us.

We are very excited to introduce our first employee, Camarii Tellis, as Social Media Coordinator! We're thrilled to have you join us and can't wait to see all you will be able to accomplish!

Please check out our website updates and in particular, our new resource page for high school students.
