“Healthy habits is a program that has helped me make better choices.”
Seven years ago Aleah became a Boys & Girls Club member and since then has transformed into a knowledgeable, persistent, and well-rounded young lady. Aleah discovered her many talents and her own voice through participation in youth success programs centered on abstinence, bully prevention, mental, physical, and behavioral health. As a participant in the Healthy Habits Program, funded by United Way, Aleah learned how to create positive relationships with peers and adults, and also gained valuable social development skills. Through the Healthy Habits program, Aleah participated in cooking classes, along with a variety of sports and recreational activities. In addition, Aleah learned the value of volunteering, and donated her time working at the Boys & Girls Club and throughout the community. She also became a member of SMART Moves, which helped her hone decision-making and critical-thinking skills.
Being involved in youth success programs introduced Aleah to community supporters who helped her transition from a child to an educated teen, preparing her to make smart choices as she becomes an adult.
