Programs
“A CALL TO ACTION” PROGRAMMING 2012-2013
* Abstinence For Marriage and Human Growth & Development Curricula for grades 5-12. This programming is available, through the Waupaca Center, for all of the Christian, public, and home schools in Waupaca County and it’s surrounding areas. (Approx. 15 additional volunteers are needed to be instructors for this coming school year.)
* “Teen Mother Choices.” We will be using this organization as a template to build a strong mentoring program for the young clients we serve; mainly our single and new moms. Clients will be paired with a mature Christian advocate who will build an unconditional, supportive relationship with them. This program will include weekly bible study and life skills workshops in a group setting at the Center. Workshops will also include free childcare and a family style meal. (Approx. 3 more volunteer advocates are needed for this program as well as individuals or church groups who are willing to coordinate and prepare a family style meal each week on a rotating schedule.)
* “Candid Talk” Community Workshops. This two night workshop (2 Thursdays in a row) are designed to educate parents, teachers, pastors, youth leaders, and youth about the risky sexual behaviors our families are facing in Waupaca County and in our modern day society. It is our experience that when people are equipped with the information, they are more likely to be a guiding compass for the vulnerable. Come with your questions, your insecurities, and your experiences! We will have lots of great resources available from “How to Talk to Your Kids about Sex,” devotionals and bible studies for youth & parents, to local statistics about risky sexual behaviors. Check our website for dates and times. (www.wpic.info)
