Clarkston Youth Initiative 

is a partnership with the DeKalb County Youth Services and the result of an ongoing need to address many problems faced by the young adults in their homes, schools, and social communities. These issues include addressing: youth violence, cultural diversity, health inequities, and obstacles to educational attainment. High School students teach their peers on a subject matter every week for 10 weeks. On Tuesdays we train the High School students on a subject, for example bullying.  On Thursdays the trainers present their topic to the students and lead the discussions around the topic. The goal is to improve the self-image and understanding for these students by addressing hard and important topics.  It is vitally important to City of Clarkston that the students have an alternative to gangs. By joining the after school program these students will become confident and address the issues which they will face on a daily basis.
