Our Mission
Students who complete our programs learn to build upon the confidence, community awareness, and social skills necessary for a successful academic and professional life. Teens will produce their own original, creative stories. We teach skills and lessons needed to produce any project from start to finish. The goal of Celebrating Teen Success is to foster a commitment to young people that will promote pro-social friendships, professional opportunities, strong interpersonal skills, and empower youth to pave their own future. Only through personal relationships can a sense of individual responsibility be established that will give youth the commitment to follow through on a path to adulthood with a sense of pride and accomplishment.
​
Additionally, we are dedicated to preventing teen and young adult suicide by providing essential support and resources. Our programs aim to address mental health challenges, promote emotional well-being, resilience, and self-awareness. By creating a supportive environment through community-building activities and mentorship, we strive to ensure that young people feel valued and understood, reducing the risk of isolation and despair. Our mission is to equip youth with the tools they need to navigate life's challenges and foster a generation that is both mentally healthy and empowered to achieve their fullest potential.
