Young People are the pride of our families and the hope of our nation. That’s why Student Venture New York City exists. We care about teenagers.
Student Venture is faith-based and youth focused — an organization committed to helping teenagers and their families navigate the inherent turbulent years of adolescence.
For many students, growing up is tough, especially in a culture filled with sexual pressures, drug abuse, and disintegrating family life. Parents, teachers and youth leaders play a crucial role in helping young people make successful choices.
Since 1966, our staff and volunteers have joined hands with parents, educators, community leaders and churches in cities all across America, helping students make a positive difference in their schools and communities.
Student Venture offers after school programs which include discussion groups, focused one-to-one counsel, leadership training and retreats. In all of these activities, students are in touch with people who care and are able to help them develop in the social, mental and spiritual dimensions of life.
Student Venture staff members and volunteers are available as motivational speakers for classrooms, clubs or teams. Some of our topics include:
- Preparing for College
- Respect
- Substance Abuse
- Abstinence
- Study Habits (“How to Get Better Grades and Have More Fun”)
- Team Unity
- Desire, Dedication & Determination (for athletic teams)
Our staff members have a desire to help. In addition to their college education our full-time staff, as well as our volunteers and affiliates, receive training to better meet the needs of today’s youth. They are mentors who students can talk with about solutions to life’s problems, and provide a refreshing atmosphere of genuine acceptance based on Judeo-Christian values.
