In addition, our PAYP provides 30 parents of our youths with parenting skills to better support and become more active in their children's lives. Youth program activities take place after school, Tuesday through Friday, from 3:30-6 PM at The Cambodian Family Community Center, and on Wednesdays, from 1:00-3:30 PM at the Minnie Street Family Resource Center (MSFRC), our community partner and a "One Stop Shop" that provides services and support systems that build on family strengths. Pro -social and enrichment activities are some times held on Saturdays from 9 AM - 3 PM. Youths attend our program year-round, an average of 6-8 hours per week. Staff are bilingual in Cambodian or Spanish. All activities are lead by a partnership of program staff and community volunteers. Academic Institute: Students develop a strong foundation in STEM subjects, strengthen reading and writing skills, improve overall academic performance, improve technological competency, graduate high school, and plan their paths toward college. PAYP gives students access to our multi -faceted community center equipped with computers, high-speed internet, printing, and a small library to support their learning. Program staff work closely with college students and other community volunteers to provide 1.5 hours of daily tutoring as well as academic workshops to improve their study skills. Leadership Institute: Through weekly Life Skills classes, we help youths develop leadership and social skills, and improve self-esteem and character strengths. Career Institute: To help youths plan their paths towards becoming a contributing member of society, we host career guest speaker presentations and workshops on the benefits of higher education/ community service and its gateway to a wider range of different career options. We host an optional music class to students who want to explore artistic options. Health Institute: Youths develop a health conscious lifestyle through healthy eating and active living. Students engage in 30 minutes of daily exercise during recreation time and offer an optional mixed -martial arts class. We offer monthly workshops to discuss the importance of good nutrition, proper portion sizes, and healthy eating. In order to increase the likelihood of youth's successes, parents are strongly encouraged to be involved in our program.
