Debra D. Davis (3D)
Youth Guidance Program

AWOF has developed the Debra D. Davis (3D) Youth Guidance Program, which started in the Summer of 2023.  Our 1st Engagement Event was held on 8/5/2023 .

​​

• The mission of 3D is to Empower teens between the age of 13 – 19 to:

  • ​Help them prepare and take charge of their own future.

  • Give them a stable/safe place to come learn and grow  – FREE of CHARGE.

  • Give them a program of classes that will help them to grow and to accept themselves just as they are.

  • Qualify our teens to be successful adults.

  • Teach them to live with purpose going forward, and not to be afraid to be true to themselves.

  • ​Instill in them a sense of purpose, accomplishment, and pride.

​​

• ​We plan to target children of addicted parents, and children emancipating from DCFS custody soon and children in alternative schools - but all teens 13 - 19 are welcome.

​​

• We will be teaching them life & survival skills from how to find an apartment and do a household budget, to how to check the oil in your car or change a tire. 

 

• We  will also be offering financial literacy, domestic violence and substance abuse prevention classes, self esteem classes, along with some physical programming like basketball, yoga and Taekwondo. 

​​

• Our vision is to further add to the lessons learned from their parents, thereby, preparing them for a successful future!
