Action Youth and Community Resources

Action Youth and Community Resources mission is to provide leadership training resources for our youth and community.

Action Youth and Community Resources provides a variety of programs in St. Tammany Parish. The Troupe is a group of junior and high school students who participate in ongoing leadership development workshops and activities and facilitate leadership training workshops for elementary students. They also participate in community service and coordinate social activities for their peers in a safe, substance free environment. During the summers, Action teens work tirelessly as interns (counselors) at Positive Action and Positive Attitude camps for students in grades 5-12. Camp activities are all leadership development based with workshops and activities that focus on positive life skills like effective communication, positive self-image, healthy social skills/relationships, as well as awareness of the dangers and affects of substance use and abuse. Members all pledge to live a healthy, substance free lifestyle and lead others by example.

Testimonials

"My son has never had a positive camp experience until your camp. When we picked him up today he had a huge smile on his face. He couldn't stop talking about all the fun he had. He even said something about how he felt like people really liked hm. I can't thank you all enough for helping him get his confidence back. Thank you!" ~Mom of a PA Camper
