Touchstone

Touchstone is a program for young people who complete the Steps Ahead for Youth program. It is a program designed to provide the youth with the support and guidance that they require from 9th grade through high school graduation.

Youth in Touchstone focus on personal development and their future. Those that participate in the Touchstone Program demonstrate increased personal responsibility, strengthened relationships and an understanding of their personal vision and goals.

There are several places for adults and youth to participate in Touchstone:

Career & Skills Development
This area is a fun place for adults to share career skills with youth. Whether it is sharing your field of expertise, helping a young person to prepare for college or tutoring. The opportunities for youth and volunteers are endless and flexible.
Youth Facilitation Training
Youth have an opportunity to develop leadership and facilitation skills through speaking opportunities and the Leadership Academy Program
Continued training for Steps Ahead Graduates & their Mentors
Ongoing Touchstone meetings support relationships between youth and mentors through ongoing training and support of existing goals.
