Youth Resilience & Life Skills Development Program
A year-round, trauma-informed lifeline for foster kids in Arizona.
At Rise Above the Clouds, we recognize that the farther out we expand our program, the most lives we will touch in meaningful ways. Our summer camp provides us with an incredible foundation for building relationships, growing closer together and providing our campers with ample amounts of tools, resources and lasting connections.. yet, to create true momentum and lasting change, these youth need year-round support to sustain and amplify the benefits received through our program.
In order to meet this need, we have developed our Youth Resilience and Life Skills Development Program where we offer non-clinical support that gives the youth in our program an opportunity to build resilience, trust in themselves, emotional intelligence and real life skills.
Who is this for?
As a team, we realized that with an overnight camp alone we were not able to serve younger, system-impacted children who are also in need of this support at their crucial, formative age. This is why we have opened up this program to not only work with children who have been to our camps, but to foster children of all ages within Yavapai County.
What does a typical session look like?
Every session and each activity is child-led and grown-up structured. We provide our clients with an opportunity to build our sessions together through their interests, comfort zones and goals.
Through our 4 C’s framework, we structure each child’s program to fit their exact needs — tracking their progress, educating and working along side their caretakers and building a stronger database of research.
Through one-on-one mentorship with our Life Coaches, youth have the opportunity to build steady trust and meaningful connections with our team. This individualized support allows them to receive focused guidance while exploring their goals, strengthening their confidence, and developing their emotional intelligence.
Within activities such as art, games, journaling, movement and more, we are able to weave in somatic awareness, relational skills and empowerment into every session.
