Service Leadership Program
Freedom4U Mission: Our mission is to identify, develop and release the potential of youth into their life purpose by offering peer-driven healthy activities such as creative arts, life skills, service projects, and leadership opportunities to youth in the South Bay/Harbor Area of L.A. Currently, Freedom4U has monthly service projects that all teens are welcome to attend.
Service Leadership Program:
Freedom4U is launching a program whereby teens can gain important leadership skills of writing, speaking and organizing while leading other teens in a service area they care about. The service area can be a project or cause that is benevolent to other people, the culture, to an organization or the environment.
Teens will learn to effectively communicate by working with others and by demonstrating patience, passion for charity work, and listening skills. They are surrounded by staff who have found their ever-growing love for charity work, and who are ready and willing to help guide them into making the community a better place.
Service:
Students will learn service skills of; compassion, communication, understanding social services dynamic, social justice, interfacing with other nonprofits and private businesses to provide service to the community.
Leadership:
Students will develop necessary leadership skills to lead others in their service area interest. Students will learn leadership skills of organization, administration of finances, budgets, supplies and resources. Leadership will be centered on communication to create and guide a team/group towards a specific cause of direction and purpose. Teens will be working closely with a group to establish and reach goals as a team. Teens will then learn the important concepts of accountability and reliability as a emerging leader.
