| Programs
Kieve's Leadership School offers a variety of programs
which have at their core the common goal of encouraging responsible
decision-making in adolescents by increasing self-awareness and
self-confidence, providing accurate information, and teaching important
coping skills. In all programs the teaching methods are "affective".
Instead of being lectured to, participants are presented with concepts,
vocabulary, issues, and problems, and then interact with each other
in activities that address the particular topic.
Leadership School programs include:
Residential Programs
Teacher Workshops
Learning Together Parent Programs
Outreach Programs
