Help and Hope for ‘Challenging’ Teens and their Parents

Spectrum Youth and Family Services has a specialized program for youthful offenders and teens who are behaviorally at-risk of problem-related police contact. The program is called “Youth D.R.I.V.E.”, which stands for developing respect, integrity, values and empathy. Services include group sessions on anger-management, social skills, character and job readiness skills; may include individual and family counseling; and often include community-service work if required by the police, peer juries or the juvenile court.

Call (847) 884-6212 for information.


Want to Work with Teenagers?

Adult and mature teen volunteers are needed weekday evenings to help supervise and offer a friendly ear to youth at Spectrum’s in-house teen center and at the Vogelei Teen Center. Training and on-going supervision by professional staff are provided. A minimum commitment of one three-hour shift per week for four months is requested.
