STRENGTHENING ADOLESCENT BOYS WITH EDUCATION & RESOURCES (SABERS)

The transition from childhood to adulthood, beginning with early adolescence, is an exciting and challenging period impacting individual youth at different rates and manifesting in different behaviors. For some young men, this can be a time of great social stress and a struggle to understand their place at home, school, and in the community. It is important for them to develop both the self-confidence and sense of responsibility required to make the best decisions during this transformation period.
