What is Real World Connections?

Growing up is confusing! So we created the Real World Connections program to provide a safe setting for camaraderie, support, and positive guidance. Comprised of like-minded teens, Real World Connections members gather weekly in small groups to learn about and understand the complex social world.

What are the benefits of attending?

Guys and gals gather weekly with trained staff members and volunteers to discuss life challenges. Together in their small group, they learn and practice social and communication skills, from each other as well as from the evidence-based iCan House social skills curriculum. As trusted adults who are NOT their parents, the facilitators are positive role models with whom to talk about tough issues.

When does Real World Connections take place?

The groups meet once a week from 4:30-6:00 pm. In addition, twice a month, members gather at co-ed social activities to enjoy age-appropriate social fun and practice the skills they are learning in their group sessions.

Real World Connections

Real World Connections is a unique social learning program for teens who want extra help figuring out the social world and the unspoken rules that come with being a teenager.

Groups of like-minded individuals meet each week to participate in activities using our evidence-based social skills curriculum. Trained staff facilitates group interactions, creating peer-to-peer learning opportunities.

Through the club, members experience new social connections and make friends while learning and having fun!
