Choose 2 Be U is our life coaching program for teens 14 -18. The Choose 2 Be U program provides developmentally appropriate interventions and activities using evidence-based curriculum and practices and a structured experiential learning environment. Activities are well-sequenced and active, and the concentration on social skills is explicit and focused.

​

There are three formats for the program:

​

• Community-Based. The community-based version is offered at our office and has a workforce component. We work in partnership with Y.O.U. for the workforce component.  Participants must enroll in Choose 2 Be U each January and complete training, leadership, and coaching sessions. They will be eligible if they complete an employment application with Y.O.U. as a From Me 2 U, Inc. Community Partner. 

• Residential. The residential program is offered to group homes that serve youth at a cost and is delivered as an intervention designed to reengage participants with the community. 

• School-based. The school-based program is offered to high school students within the school environment at a cost to the school. ​​​​

 

​Goals:

• Increase positive peer networks.

• Improve problem-solving and decision-making skills.

• Improve self-concept.

• Improve concepts of sisterhood and brotherhood.

• Enhance participants’ future outlook.
