Event Description:
Please join us in welcoming Boomerang Youth with a Ribbon Cutting celebration on April 4th at 4:30 pm!
Boomerang Youth is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, offering alternative to suspension and after school programs for Orange County youth. Their mission is to inspire youth to bounce back from challenges and move towards positive change. They provide youth with the support they need in times of crisis and beyond, to manage their challenges, cope with adversity and become resilient, independent young people. Their vision for our community is one where all youth view themselves – and others view them – as whole and worthy community members.
Students on short-term suspension from school attend STRIVE, a strengths-based program that focuses on personal accountability, development of self and a goal-based re-entry plan for their return to school. High school students receive additional follow-up support services to help them stay on track to graduation.
The Bounce Back after school program is a positive development and youth leadership program that provides students with a safe space to receive academic tutoring and reinforcement, develop life skills, and engage in student-directed service-learning opportunities. This program will be a student-led space through which Orange County youth can connect with positive, caring adults and build resilience while enriching and positively impacting their communities.
