We Care Outreach Inc.

 Some of the programs we offer include:

SISTER CIRCLE: A group/program geared toward the enrichment and empowering of character building in the young women of the community/program. It teaches them to offer alternative aspects of their lives to the outside world and others through: abstinence, drug/gang free activity, individuality, communication, and leadership skills. This particular program gives them the power of leadership empowerment through the excellence of academics and making wise as well as informed decisions. We consider the young women of these programs upcoming future leaders and encourage them to be non-violent through the use of Christian values and morale. We further implement their training and life skills through evaluation and assessment processes of camps, interaction with others, decision making, workshops, and weekly meetings (individual/group).

PRINCESS GIRLS: This is another one of our enrichment programs for the even younger women of the outreach program that promote prosperity and success through praise dance. Praise dancing is an expression of culture, inheritance, thanks, and spirituality. It has become a fun program for our elementary youth to participate in this movement without conveying the wrong/not so positive message. It teaches them discipline, individuality, respect, and all of the aforementioned attributes on a level they can easily identify with. It offers a building foundation for them to move on to the Sister Circle as they mature and progress. This is the program that promotes integrity, healthy friendships and relationships among the adolescent youth as well as providing a nurturing/fostering spirit on them to learn to care about themselves and others. It allows them to be able to present attributes through effective communication and love.

WARRIORS: This is an all boys group/program. This program is for the young men of the community to foster their needs to successfully convert from childhood to manhood. It empowers them to become individuals through the empowerment of choices. It affords them the opportunity to live more productive lives through educational excellence, abstinence, drug/gang free: nonviolent activities. It instills morality and individuality through weekly group peer sessions and hands on experience within the community about making informed decision. We are here to reiterate the theory think before you speak or act. We assess their progression as well through the weekly exercises and through one on one counseling sessions with each child. We provide a structured curriculum for growth, responsibility, accountability, enhanced levels of respect and excellence among our young men.

SOLDIERS: This too is also geared toward the young men of the program. It too is an all boy curriculum. It offers a form of stability for our elementary aged youth. It exemplifies the importance of maturity at a stable rate of progression. We encourage interaction and teamwork among the males through community based projects. We allow them to be responsible in the aspect of time management, project clean up, and the setting of short term goals that are attainable; in turn giving them inspiration to aspire to go further and reach for the sky. We allow them to understand through good morale and Christian values the possibilities for success are limitless. However, as they mature they are able to convert over to Warriors later implementing their learned skills to become mentors and partners of the program drawing in more youth through their testimonies of success.

WE CARE POWER NIGHT: This is a co-ed program that gives the youth a drug-free based environment to interact with one another all ages and genders. It provides a counseling session where they can express their needs as well as the positive experiences they have encountered throughout the week. They come together to share experiences and tributes they have contributed to themselves, others, and the community. They enjoy a fun filled evening of games, food, music, and educational/Christian curriculum. They get to add value to one another’s life in one form or another through the art of expression, communication, and just plain fun. They are in a safe environment that provides positive outcomes without being amongst the everyday trials they come face to face with. They get to be free from stressful environments and enjoy their night; it is something they can call their own.

LITERACY PROGRAM: The literacy program is also co-ed; it is an empowerment program based on literacy elevation and evaluation. It incorporates the Wilson Reading System which consists of an eleven step process that teaches our youth reading fluency and comprehension. In inclusion to the Wilson Reading System we have a miniature library that allows the youth to check out books, takes assessment, and create small book clubs comparing books read and making reading progression fun as well competitive. We mandate this program a minimum of five days per week and more if necessary based on individual needs. Fridays is our evaluation day of weekly progress and we increase or decrease curriculum as necessary for literacy enhancement and stability.

SMALL GROUP BIBLE STUDY: This too is one of all inclusive programs for enrichment and empowerment of our youth. It offers a greater knowledge and deeper love for Christianity and getting to know God (the creator). We offer Christian values, integrity, love, and another sense of accountability. Through this program we offer another perspective into faith that the children can associate with and find easier to conform to. Most importantly we are not trying to convert anyone from their personal religion or belief, but offer understanding and a means of incorporation of morale in everyday choice. We come together read the bible, have the children come together to give their perception of the lesson, sing songs of praise, and the adults/teacher clarify any miscommunication or misconception of the lessons. We give reality examples of how to apply these lessons and the good that can come from the use of them.
