provide a series of workshops geared toward the healthy aspects of mind, body and spirit for high-risk teens and will
reach out to teens that are in need of positive interactions and offers alternatives to gang involvement or risky
behaviors. This program is unique because it will provide many different aspects of healthy living, build self esteem,
and promote resiliency. The Healthy U² program promotes the importance of building strong peer relationships and
creating strong bonds with the community.

higher goals for their futures. The program will also help high-risk youth to thrive and maintain resiliency.
