Every year, YSDP youth are actively engaged in the community. This year, our teens planned 5 clean-ups for the springtime and worked as a team to make sure the task got done. Eddie Kimbrough, who is our youth coordinator, makes sure the teens are ready and motivated to do the task when leading this group.🗑♻️ #SocialMediaTakeover #SSNC #YSDP

Silver Spring YSDP program has an amazing music program hosted by our youth coordinator, Margret Ann Crosby. Ann started off as a volunteer and poured love, trust, and character building into her workshops with the teens. She was so amazing to the teens that they requested she become staff and work with them more days in the week. Music class has successfully retained 11 out of 12 youth. They journal each section, learn to understand the full power of their words, and practice public speaking and presentation. Music class is their safe space and where they push each other as a team. #SocialMediaTakeover #SSNC #YSDP

Check out Brooklynn from our Youth Social Development program as she works through a Confidence Session with our friends at Riding with Angels. This is one of many programs our staff implements to support our teens’ social and emotional wellbeing through recreational therapy.
Our amazing teens embarked on a transformative journey at Camp Helen Brachman as part of the Summer Healing initiative. This initiative is designed to support the mental health and social-emotional development of Milwaukee's youth, while fostering a deep connection with nature. During their time at Camp Helen Brachman, our teens engaged in a plethora of enriching activities that not only brought them closer to the natural world but also helped them nurture their own growth. From archery and swimming to midnight hiking and campfires, each experience served as a building block for their personal development. We witnessed our teens challenge themselves, overcome obstacles, and develop essential life skills in an environment that encouraged camaraderie and support. Through activities like capture the flag, they learned the value of teamwork, cooperation, and friendly competition, fostering bonds that will last a lifetime. We believe in the power of connecting young individuals with nature to nurture their well-being and build resilience. The healing benefits of the great outdoors cannot be overstated! Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to Camp Helen Brachman for providing an incredible space where our teens could truly thrive. We extend our thanks to everyone involved in making this experience possible: the counselors, volunteers, and our generous sponsors. Your support is integral to the success of programs like these, and we are immensely grateful for your dedication and contributions. As we reflect on this remarkable journey, we are filled with immense pride for our teens' growth and resilience. They have shown us the power of embracing new experiences, finding solace in nature, and fostering connections that nourish the soul. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue our mission of empowering Milwaukee's youth and providing them with opportunities for growth, healing, and self-discovery! Together, we can make a difference. #SilverSpringNeighborhoodCente
