CIRCLE OF LIGHT ASSOCIATES

Teen Awareness



C.O.L.A. Teen Awareness is devoted to enriching and inspiring the lives of today's young ladies in the Baden and surrounding communities of the St. Louis area. With programs that build and enhance knowledge, self-esteem and leadership abilities, teens will be equipped with opportunity and knowledge they need to excel. We diligently and passionately strive to support our youth with mental, physical, economic, social, emotional and spiritual health.

Teen Awareness is a youth program integrated with "service learning" established to prevent and discourage at-risk behavior in girls, ages 10 to 19. Service learning is one third of our program and provides teens with an opportunity to experience real world application of academic and functional skills, and at the same time provides much needed services to our communities. Teen Awareness addresses current social issues facing our youth through age appropriate programs that build and enhance abilities to cope with peer pressure and other social pressures they encounter.

Teen Awareness offers instruction in basic skills, such as cooking, gardening and physical hygiene. Instruction is also given in physical wellness, which includes exercise, dance and character building, and through prevention workshops. It is the expectation that every young lady who walks through our doors be presented with a wealth of opportunities and knowledge so she may establish and achieve realistic goals in order to reach her fullest potential in home, school and community.
