Girl Scout Troop 2346 aims to empower girls by providing opportunities to explore the world around them while developing leadership and team-building skills.

Currently, our troop comprises elementary, middle, and high school girls working toward the bronze, silver, and gold awards, respectively.  The girls work on level-specific service, skill-building, and personal growth projects throughout the year.  Some of the activities we have planned for the year include camping, kickball, VFW service projects, nursing home visits, supporting Habitat for Humanity, a holiday riverboat ride, and obstacle courses.

Our girls work hard on nut and cookie sales yearly to raise money for their activities.  We have lots of fun too!  Our girls enjoyed outings to a local roller rink, a trampoline park, and Schlitterbahn this summer.

We look forward to another fun, engaging, and productive year ahead!

The Pathways Youth Program provides interactive, educational enrichment activities that emphasize art, music, and literacy in an environment of cooperative learning. The program is offered Monday through Friday from 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM to children over the age of 6. During this time Resident Coordinators assist youth with their homework. After homework is completed, youth participate in a structured educational activity. These activities reinforce math, science, reading, and creative thinking while incorporating art, music, and cooking.

In the summer, hours are extended and additional programs and field trips are added. Summer programming differs from year to year because, unlike traditional summer camp where children are grouped with youngsters of the same age, ACG children work together cooperatively in groups that frequently span many ages. This experience more closely replicates the experience these children have in their home environment where siblings and neighborhood friends come from many age groups.

This program is open to the public.

Communities In Schools programs surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. Our evidence-based approach, adapted to meet each community’s unique needs, is the basis for our success.

Basic Needs: A student cannot focus in the classroom if he or she is hungry, cold or tired, or cannot see the board. Site coordinators see to it that students' basic needs are met each day.

Enrichment: Our Site coordinators enroll students in a wide variety of after-school and summer programs, field trips and youth conferences to help them gain experience that is essential to meeting college and career goals.

Academic Assistance: Our site coordinators work hard to ensure that students have the resources to progress academically. From providing students with tutors to finding and creating quiet spaces where students can study, we do whatever it takes to create an optimal learning environment for our students.

Life Skills: Through one-on-one workshops, team building, and guest speakers, we work with students to develop social-emotional learning, character education, social skills building, and conflict resolution.

Behavioral Interventions: Many of our students face and overcome difficult obstacles in their lives. However, their survival skills aren’t always effective in the classroom or in the workplace. Our program teaches students positive ways to cope with anger, conflict resolution, and other strategies to keep them focused on school.

Family Engagement: Site coordinators connect families with counselors and social workers to make sure that home is a healthy, nurturing environment where a student can feel safe.

This program is for students at Converse Elementary.

One of the hardest parts about being a parent or caregiver is finding a safe place for your child that is...

• affordable
• within close proximity, and
• that can help their child become the best person that they can be.

Of course, there are several other factors that play a role in choosing the right place, but it usually comes down to those three things.

Sometimes there aren't a lot of choices and are stuck with whatever is available. We hope to change all of that. While our organization is fairly new to the industry, our actual work experience with youth spans over twenty years.

With that knowledge, we aim to be adaptive in an environment that is ever changing. So, let's talk about what we are currently offering....

• Homework Assistance (No Homework? Then they Read)
• Tutoring is available, if needed
• Traditional and Non-Traditional Arts/Crafts
• An Immersive STEM Program (Interactive Science Activities, Environmental Science Projects, etc.)
• Social Entrepreneurship, Small Business, and Stock Market Game
• Life Skills Training
• Prevention of Child Trafficking Program and Street Smarts Program

While our program is geared towards youth ages 6-17, we currently operate through IDEA Judson for Kinder through College Prep grade levels (K-High School).

We are open to discuss opening up locations in churches, schools, or other prospective areas depending on the number of youth projected to be served and available funding.

Please call or email us for more information.

$195/month.

Let's get down to the real stuff here. What makes our summer program so special? Well, let's see....

• Lots of hands on Environmental Science and other STEM activities
• Learning street smart skills?
• Brainstorming and engineering new ideas to solve real world issues.
• Participate in an array of team-building, sports, fitness, and recreation activities
• Enjoy a formidable and captivating Arts Program

Breakfast and Lunch provided (but they can bring their own lunch as well).

Our Summer Program will be open to youth ages 6-17 with classrooms split into age appropriate groups.

Current IDEA Judson and other IDEA School students will have access to early registration for the Summer program beginning March 1st-April 1st.

Afterwards, Non-IDEA students will be able to register on a first come-first serve basis.

Music Therapy is a clinical and therapeutic practice that uses music to achieve specific goals for individuals, such as treating trauma, PTSD, depression, and anxiety.

What is Music Therapy?

There is something about music that has power over us. It can entice us, make us feel warm or cold. It can raise us to happiness and bring us down to sadness. It can make us feel weak, and it can also make us feel strong. Thanks to this ‘power,’ many have sought to use it for its therapeutic benefits. In fact, there is a lot of well-documented research on the subject.

The power that music has over us can help our young clients understand that it's okay to feel what they are feeling. In fact, music has always provided us with an outlet for our emotions, be they positive or negative. Paired with the ideas of Music Therapy, music can be used to create a safe space for teens and adults alike, a space where they can really heal.

Results of Music Therapy for Depression

Research and documented results have shown that Music Therapy heals the brain's neural pathways previously damaged by emotional and physical trauma, and can strengthen a teen's resilience against future events or related stressors.

In regards to anxiety, trauma, or PTSD in teens and adults, Music Therapy has been shown to decrease related symptoms by a great degree. Our young clients have mentioned they no longer have nightmares, aren't always irritable or anxious.

There was one particular study that looked at the brain waves of clients during a Music Therapy session. From the recorded brain patterns they have gathered, the researchers could easily tell when emotions changed from negative to positive. Other studies showed how music can help heal a client's body, such as lowering their heart rates and blood pressure.

We offer an authentic level of care that is ideal for adolescents that need regular therapeutic support. Day treatment is excellent for those that do not want to skip school or miss out on having fun with friends and family.

Day Treatment for Teens is an evidence-based program designed solely for kids struggling with social challenges due to their mental health issues. It can be done after school or during vacation days, both of which allow for longer and more consistent hours for guided therapy.

Our program will allow your teens to learn and grow in an environment that is inclusive and non-judgemental. Through our empirically proven therapies, we will equip your adolescents with the right tools to handle their past traumas as well as navigate school and relationship challenges.

They will learn:

• How to form strong social bonds with their family, friends, and peers.
• Strategies to better understand themselves and their emotions.
• Methods that will help them stay productive and not just busy.
• Ways to manage their emotions and behavior to reduce how badly certain mental health-related symptoms will affect them.
• How to communicate well with others, especially with those who want to help them.

If you feel your teenager is not making any progress therapy-wise, you should consider having their teens join our program. Day Treatment for Teens can be recommended for many reasons, including:

• Your teen feels life is a constant struggle, especially when they are in a social situation in school.
• Previous therapy sessions do not seem to be helping or are no longer effective for, your teenager.
• A mental health diagnosis was made and the therapist believes group-based day treatment will be better than individual therapy.
