Common Program Features:

  • Monthly Thematic Units: Both SPACES and SPACESTOO offer a diverse range of thematic units, covering self-discovery, self-empowerment, healthy lifestyle choices, positive community involvement, leadership, goal setting, conflict resolution, accepting differences (diversity), career development, and health and wellness.
  • Transportation Provided: Ensuring accessibility for participants in Wake County.
  • Prevention and Intervention: A shared commitment to reducing the likelihood of youth involvement in the criminal justice system.
  • Grant-Funded: Both programs are grant-funded, emphasizing personal success and minimizing the risk of criminal justice system involvement.

Program Objectives:

  1. Develop Critical Thinking and Decision-Making Skills: Empowering youth with the tools to make informed choices.
  2. Provide Opportunities for Personal Success: Creating an environment for individual growth and achievement.
  3. Enhance Interpersonal and Life Skills: Fostering effective communication, leadership, and conflict resolution abilities.

Age Focus:

  • SPACES (Ages 12-16): Tailored for youth aged 12-16, SPACES addresses the critical transitional period from adolescence to young adulthood.
  • SPACESTOO (Ages 16-18): Geared towards individuals aged 16-18, SPACESTOO places a specific emphasis on job readiness and career development, preparing older youth for the next stages of their lives.
