The goal of youth services is to provide learning and leadership opportunities that increase the personal, academic, and social skills youth need to be successful in life.

Our diverse menu of services has proven highly effective in connecting with youth and keeping them engaged in their quest to build a healthy and productive life. Participants become more grounded and optimistic and are less likely to fall prey to despair, hopelessness, or destructive activities.

Academic Support
This component is designed to assist youth in making improvements in basic academic skills, while motivating them to excel academically. Services include tutoring, homework clubs, and study skills instruction. We also offer an academic skill building program with a strong college-readiness component. Activities include college preparation workshops and site visits to major colleges in Western Washington.

Team ALIVE
This group promotes leadership skills for youth aged 12-16. Leadership skills are developed through personal development, skills training, and community service.

Service Learning
Our Youth Development program sponsors several community service projects each month to encourage youth to give back to the community. This includes projects such as volunteering at homeless shelters, creating public art installations, visiting with the disabled and elderly, and assisting community P-Patches with special projects. As part of Service Learning, we offer a Job Readiness group that includes career skills workshops.

Social and Leadership Development Skills
We provide structured activities with the goal of developing young people’s leadership potential and instilling strong social values, community service, and compassion for others. Activities include developing effective planning and decision-making skills, leadership skills, peaceful conflict resolution, and refusal skills.

Support Groups
We offer several support groups for youth, including Brothers to Brothers, Ladies with Purpose, G’z Group, Boyz Group, Titans of NewHolly, and Pearls of Paradise.

Other services for youth
Youth and their families may participate in other Atlantic Street Center services such as mental health counseling, case management, and family support.
