The Green Beret Project offers at-risk youth dynamic programming after school and on weekends. During these sessions, adult cadre build rapport and trust, while identifying the future young leaders for the program. There is informal and formal mentorship for youth, to include instruction addressing areas of need. As Green Beret Project youth show they are dependable through service projects, regular attendance, and responsible behavior, then they are asked to become leaders in the organization. Our adult cadre monitor youth’s grades, behavior and home life to assist and support parents/guardians in keeping kids in school and on-track to graduate. As Green Beret Project youth mature, they begin to be given opportunities to explore their future to include vocational training or college prep. The Green Beret Project’s network of partners offers the potential for part-time jobs and/or apprenticeships
