Kaleidoscope Teens

We teach teens life skills to cope in today's world, manage stress and thrive so they can launch successfully. 

Are you a parent or do you know a parent who has a teen struggling with anxiety, depression, and/or suicidal ideation?  

Do you know a teen that is struggling with friendships, belonging and finding their purpose? 

Do you know a teen struggling academically and emotionally causing concern for their future? 

I was that mom that worried if my daughter would graduate or even be alive by the end of her senior year. That is why I embarked on a mission over 5 years ago to provide caring, connection and community to teens and their families. If our teens suffer, our families suffer, if our families suffer our communities suffer. We are all connected.  Working with leaders and organizations in our community, we wrap around our teens and their families to provide support, education and opportunities to create new possibilities in their lives and for their families, positively impacting our communities. 

• Support and Mentorship – Weekly Level Up groups to provide support; support for parents with struggling teens, education on coping skills and life skills; 1-1 and small group mentorship; provide tools to positively impact the lives of teens and their families
• Academic Support – provide academic support to maintain 100% graduation rate for all teens, closing the achievement gap for teens who participate; provide access to free tutoring and study groups 
• College & Career Planning – Provide free college and career consultation resulting in over 90% teens attending college or technical school; assist teens with college and technical school application and acceptance; secure scholarships, laptops and bikes for students as needed
• Community Service – Teens give back and learn leadership skills through community service projects including Feed My Starving Children, SecondHand Hounds, Esther Homes, and projects for survivors of trafficking and the homeless.  
• Meals & Resources – Provide meals to teens and their families; secure and provide referrals to housing, household items, computers, bikes, car repairs, etc.  
• Community Relations – Partner with the schools, city and government, police department, local service organizations, nonprofits, medical community to support teens and their families
