Who is KaleidosCOPE L.Y.F.E?
KaleidosCOPE L.Y.F.E. Support is a nonprofit, community-based agency that provides mentoring programs for disadvantaged youth ages 12-17 and young adults aged 18-21 in Angelina County and surrounding areas.
The program partners with local school districts, the juvenile court system, and various organizations to address gaps and meet needs. Youth and young adults are mentored by caring adult volunteers trained to focus on positive reinforcement, trust-building, and goal achievement through programs, outings, and group adventures.
Our 4 Mentoring Programs:
1. The Launch Pad Program: This is the central program, targeting at-risk middle and high school students. It includes team-building, group activities, and life skills instruction, culminating in a graduation ceremony.
2. The Impact Program: Focusing on students who are chronically suspended from middle and high schools, the goal is to reignite their commitment to learning and academic success.
3. The AMA Program: This program engages youth involved in the juvenile court system, aiming to initiate positive change in their lives and instill hope through goal setting, self-discipline, and skill development.
4. Transition Skills Program: Engages young adults aged 17 to 21 in job preparation, education assistance, life skills programs, and independent living support.
In addition to these mentoring programs, the organization also implements Community Service and Therapeutic Support Programs to improve the community. The program aims to provide support to young people who are struggling in various systems or environments, such as the juvenile court or foster care systems, or who are dealing with issues like bullying.
