Our Programs

We offer a broad range of programs for youth in the Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia region. Here are just a few of the ways that we serve youth.

Mentoring

At Colorful Dreams Youth Center, we recognize the importance that mentorship plays in the lives of kids and teens. We also recognize that there is a shortage of mentorship programs in our community. To fill the gap, we offer mentoring for youth ages 8-16. Our goal is to create quality mentoring relationships for youth who need them most.

We connect youth with a volunteer mentor who takes the role of a safe, supportive, and stable adult figure in their lives. Mentors teach youth self-discipline, self-control, and more. Our mentoring includes things like life skills training, homework assistance, recreational outings, and socialization skills.

Life Skills Training

We provide Life Skills Training to reduce the risk of addiction and other high-risk behaviors. Life skills training uses real-life examples to enable youth to gain the skills and competencies that they need to reduce the risk of risky behaviors. Important skills targeted include anger management, impulse control, and social skills.

Career Coaching and Training

The ability to obtain and maintain stable employment is one of the biggest factors that enable a successful transition to adulthood. Our career coaching and training program helps vulnerable youth to develop career-related skills. We prepare them for jobs that offer sufficient compensation and potential for advancement. We also provide educational readiness training and counseling, as well. Our goal is to encourage youth to achieve economic self-sufficiency.

Wellness Services

Our strength-based holistic wellness services address mental and physical health concerns. We provide comprehensive mental health and wellness services, including counseling, family support, and more. We also coordinate with other community agencies to ensure that our members receive comprehensive wellness services.
