Purposely Chosen Teen Program
The Purposely Chosen Program is a facilitated curriculum-based program for teen girls (ages 13-18) that was designed to equip girls with the tools they need to pursue passion, demonstrate leadership, and overcome obstacles they may face.
Due to COVID-19, Limitless Ambition has created an instructor-led virtual program developed to reach the girls in spite of the pandemic or other life circumstances that might hinder in-person participation.
Each session has a topic to guide the discussion and girls will have an opportunity to reflect in their workbook. Programs are typically 8 - 10 weeks and take place during the school day.
The Purposely Chosen curriculum is designed around the Social-Emotional Learning Theory, one of the Ohio Department of Education’s four learning domains that has been found to contribute to the holistic success of a child. The curriculum “educates the whole child” - helping participants acquire and apply the skills to manage their emotions and achieve their goals. The life skills developed support both personal development and academic performance.
Learning Objectives:
-
To Increase self-esteem, sense of personal control, and promote positive identity and awareness of self
-
To give participants the tools they need to develop and enhance personal, leadership, communication, decision making, problem solving and social skills
-

-

-
To shed awareness and decrease teen involvement in risky behaviors such as sex, violence, and substance abuse
-
To increase high school graduation rates and college enrollment/graduation rates in low-income families
