PREPARING YOUTH FOR SUCCESSFUL LIVING

 

Goodyear, AZ - Parents are you concerned if your children and youth are prepared for successful living at home, in school, on the job, or for their future career and finances? Do you want to guarantee your child’s success and recognize that in today’s society, it takes more than you, as a parent to adequately equip and prepare your children for successful living? 

 

As the old African Proverb says “It takes a village to raise a child.”  Trinity's Learning Resource Center along with Skyway Church of the West Valley, Trinity Debt Management Services, and members of the community are working together to equip the youth and young adults of the West Valley ages 8-13 with the life skills that are needful to guarantee their success and has opened enrollment for its 2008 session of Trinity’s “Basic Life Skills for Success” and its “Life Skills, Life Planning & Preparation and Financial Management” Programs.  These programs are preparing and equipping youth to be successful in all areas of living: starting out with “First things First”, how our attitudes shape our lives and determines our future; Discovering where they are now and where they want to go; getting organized from the bedroom to Backpack; How to prepare for and pass tests every time; Developing Communication Skills/Social Skills (how courtesy and teamwork determines how successful you will be as a family, in school, and on the job); Courtesy verses Disobedience; the importance of Personal Hygiene, Health & Nutrition; How to organize your space and time that will enable you to get more done, quicker, and in peace; How to shop for the best deals; How Money Works; Understanding Mutual Funds, IRA’s & Money Market Accounts; How to plan and prepare for a job interview, resume preparation, and how to prepare for and to reach your life goals; Bad Credit verses Good Credit; Jobs for Kids; Gang Awareness; CPR / First Aid, and more…

 

Equipping and preparing our children and youth in a highly competitive society is a must, and in order to fully equip and prepare them, as parents, we must recognize our responsibility to get them the help they need.  You can further guarantee your children’s success by participating in our 12 week parent/coaching workshops that are assisting parents to “Raise Successful Youth to Become Successful Adults”. While your youth are learning vital life skills that will ensure their success with you, as their parents, success in school with their instructors and peers, success in their communities through contribution, and success in their finances understanding debt and credit, you have the opportunity to learn and understand the most needful skills and strategies for being a successful parent in today’s turbulent society!
