There are four seminars or "break out" sessions in the weekend.

CANCELLED LIVES

A video and discussion that describes life inside juvenille detention, jail, and prison facilities. We consider this our "wake up call" to encourage the youth to look down the road and decide how far into the juvenille / adult justice system they want to travel.

"WHATS TO BECOME OF ME"

A discussion of how ALL choices have positive and negative consequences on our future. Emphasized is the need to develop the mental, physical, social, and spiritual areas of our life to be a balanced person and make better choices.
