The Endangered Species Project
TESP
The Endangered Species Project's(TESP) Focus is to address the need for positive development for youth that are labeled At Risk. Its focus is to provide discipline , positive self esteem, and to teach decision-making skills so youth can be equipped to make right choices in difficult situations. In addition, The Endangered Species Project (TESP) teaches coping mechanisms and focus -oriented interventions for youth who have lost their footing off the positive path.
Goal and Objectives
The overall goal of TESP is to promote the importance of a value system, by teaching youth the purpose of creating an environment of respect, integrity and healthy self-esteem. Learning these values should reduce behaviors caused by behavioral pathology or disregard for authority within the school and the environments in which they live.
In addition, it is equally important that family inclusiveness be a part of this process. As these goals are accomplished, it is our goal to reduce the number of adolescents that face these challenges.
