Junior Thrivers Program
Purpose
The Junior Thrivers Program was created as an opportunity to support the future of our youth whilst promoting the cultivation of healthy relationships by teaching youth about the signs of Teen Dating Violence and Intimate Partner Violence.
About the Program
The Junior Thrivers Program is an 8-week-long IN PERSON summer internship program created to support Transitionally Aged Youth (ages 16-24) by helping them develop basic career readiness, personal, and professional skills. All interns in the program will participate in the full Three Hart Connection Teen Dating Violence curriculum to gain an understanding of Power & Control relationships and walk away with a "Healthy Relationships Toolbox," holding all the knowledge needed to leave or support a peer who may feel stuck in an unhealthy relationship.
