JCCEO YES Ambassadors
The JCCEO YES (Youth Empowering Selves) Ambassadors is a theatrical youth group that delivers socially uplifting messages through music and drama. The project began in 1998 as an innovative approach to engage youth in all aspects of stage production and accomplishes this by utilizing their performance skills to discourage destructive lifestyle choices of at-risk youth. The project is unique in that it reaches and engages a diverse group of talented young people, ages 10-18. Auditions for performers are held annually.
JCCEO Breakfast Club
The JCCEO Breakfast Club Project engages middle school students in an effort to inspire, encourage, and expose these young people through mentoring, etiquette training, group discussions, money management, and other beneficial activities. The program meets for one hour before school and provides breakfast for the participants. The projcet is open to all students at participating schools. Male students meet together separately from female students. The project has received wonderful feedback and has proven to be a wonderful addition to any school's curriculum.
