SHIRA HAS THE SUPPORT SHE NEEDS TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS
Shira, a 12-year-old girl who lives in Federation’s Partnership2Gether region, was struggling in school because of her problems with anger and she needed support to achieve success.
Her school principal recommended she participate in Youth Futures, a Partnership2Gether program that provides at-risk children and families with mentors who work with them over several years. Shira’s mentor, Racheli, helped her learn to turn her anger into words and listening.
After one year of Youth Futures, Shira’s grades improved, she made more friends, and she now regularly exhibits better control over her anger. After five years with Youth Futures – as Racheli puts it – “Shira is ready for anything.”
