Companion Youth Programs: Summer Cultural Events for Youths
The Companion Youth Learning Program is a Summer Cultural Events, enrichment program developed especially for children of incarcerated parents.
Every year, over 30,000 children in low-income families in Los Angeles are separated from one or both of their parents who are serving prison sentences. These children are left in the custody of guardians or grandparents who often lack the time or the ability to guide children in their education and homework.
The Mildred Cursh Foundation has been serving these children for several years through the Prison Fellowship Ministry Organization. They have provided a safe, comfortable haven for a diverse cross-section of children (ages 5-18 years).
Our summer cultural events, program encourages our students to develop their own possibility skills through engaging exercises, mentorship and summer cultural events where learning is possible through out trips, fishing camping and the arts.
The Companion Youth Program addresses these needs by providing a caring mentor and a curriculum that anticipates their learning difficulties. Our program also seeks to motivate youth to find the 'Hero' within themselves and to develop social possibility skills and an enthusiasm for the art of learning.
Ms. Reynolds conducts this summer programs by collaborating with other Non profit community organizations that work with children ages 5-18 that expand upon the subjects and standards for the grade levels of the participants.
Youth Companion meets during the Summer Time only. Activity will be posted as needed.
