(London.CityRegions.com, July 29, 2013 ) London, UK -- Students from ninth to 12th grade in Randolph, Massachusetts will be offered a summer program, which promotes the learning and teaching of life skills. The program will run in weekly segments through Aug. 14 at Randolph High School and is called Elevating Minds. The head of Elevating Minds, Tanisha Stephney (a middle school teacher), teaches students life skills that are often missing in classroom curriculum. "We want to be a real resource for these students,"
Stephney says. "Teens in the community are far too often forgotten about. They’re very vulnerable at this time in their lives and heavily susceptible to influence. We want to be a good influence."
These influences involve a wide variety of topics, ranging from job application help for rising high school seniors to study skills for all ages including college. Elevating Minds will cost $15 a day or $60 weekly and summer school students may attend the program from 12 to 3 p.m. for $12 per day or $45 weekly.
Stephney and the other councilors call their daily program "Rep Your Culture." "We want these students to learn about each other and themselves," Stephney says. "We want them to be able to embrace the cultures of those around them, as well as being proud of their own." Students then share what they worked on throughout the day, at the end of the day. To promote a healthy lifestyle, the day ends with an hour of fitness time. "Our goal is to get these kids to create a personal creed for themselves so that when they get into situations throughout life they can say either ‘Yeah, that meshes with my personal creed, I want to do that’ or ‘No, that doesn’t agree with my personal creed, I don’t want to be involved in that," said Dominus Tavares, a youth advocacy mentor and program counselor.
