LDP participants also get hands-on volunteer experience through our community programs, including:
• GOAL programs, our buddy model programs that pair each participant with a teen volunteer.
• CCC’s mid-size programs, Celebrations, that utilize a freestyle format.
• Festivals, our largest and loudest programs designed to promote community building.
• Our first and now signature program, Amy’s Holiday Party
Each LDP session is facilitated by our young adult mentors and supported by CCC’s Experiential Education Director. These mentors work directly with the teens throughout the year to create a comfortable and relatable environment in which the teens can grow and learn.
These topics will be covered in the interactive and experiential education and program planning sessions:
