Mission Statement
The mission of The Center for Family Outreach (The Center) is to help Larimer County youth (ages 8-18) and their families achieve and sustain long-term positive changes and healthy relationships. We do this by providing individual assessment, education, and custom designed programs to develop successful and positive citizens.
About This Cause
The Center was established in December 2000 as a private, not-for-profit agency offering services and education for Larimer County at-risk youth, ages 8-18, and their families. We provide one-on-one supervision/mentoring, intervention, education and support services for youth and families struggling with substance abuse and high-risk adolescent behavior. Classes at The Center focus on life skills development, drug and alcohol education, building self-esteem, anger management as well as addressing bullying, gang involvement and gender-specific for girls. We also offer cognitive group therapy, art enrichment, and workshops designed to improve parenting and grand-parenting skills and healthy communication within families. About 600 kids and their families are served every year at The Center, class sizes are small, enabling individual attention for every student. These young people and their families are struggling with issues like sobriety, homelessness, anger, out-of-control behavior and diminished life skills. Our referrals come from families, churches, schools, local law enforcement, the probation office, the office of the district attorney and the courts. Self-enrolled youth attend classes distinct from juvenile justice-referred youth, and every student is treated with respect and given equal opportunity to succeed. The Center provides unique learning modules specifically designed to reinforce positive behaviors and play to the strengths of each young person and family that visits The Center. Programs are designed to span a 7, 12 or 32 week interval, with the length of the program tailored to meet the needs of the individual. Also, a holistic approach is ensured by offering hands-on activities for young women who are demonstrating high-risk behaviors. The programs at The Center employ a broad, comprehensive approach toward youth delinquency and the often-tumultuous behavior of adolescents. The curriculum is designed using scholarly research and literature in the field of child development and family relationships.
