Special Programs
Weekly Lunch Clubs
Between 15-30 students attend weekly “Lunch Club” meet ups held at 2 Napa middle schools. Students engage with their peers and play games, do art projects and other wellness activities to build community and foster a spirit of inclusivity.
Student Volunteer Opportunities
500+ teens engaged in volunteer opportunities throughout Napa County over the past 3 years. A key component of healing is giving back and helping others. Teens Connect facilitates volunteer opportunities that allows youth to connect with their community and make an impact in the lives of others. Students participate in a range of activities that benefit the homeless, support food insecurity, younger children, older adults, animals and the environment.
In addition, teens stepped up during community crises such as the Napa earthquake and fire to help with local relief efforts.
Teen Meet Ups
Teen Meet Ups engage hundreds of teens in caring for themselves, others and our community. Special workshops and activities include yoga and meditation, art, wellness fairs and additional opportunities for civic engagement.
