Learn how we engage, educate & empower
Social and Emotional Learning
Our community wants the best educational experiences for our kids, who face increasing pressure to perform in an increasingly complex world. The Rye Youth Council supports children, teachers and parents in teaching social and emotional life skills to children in the classroom.
Smart Parenting
Parenting can be a challenge, and we are here to help with expert-led educational discussions, seminars and workshops for parents to learn proven, effective strategies for nurturing connection and resilience.
NEW InSync Parent Education provides parents with insight into what their kids are learning and experiencing in and out fof school, to help support and reinforce the social and emotional learnings at home.
Independent Work and Life Skills
Engaging, Connecting and Empowering Youth in Our Community
- Rye Youth Council Employment Services (RYCES) support teens in finding work and gaining professional experience, all of which build self-confidence, increase self-esteem and hone essential communication skills.
- NEW RYCES Job Workshops provide teens with independent work skills, such as interviewing for a summer job and creating a work resume.
- NEW RYCES Presents: Career GPS broadens teens perspectives on career choices and options based on their personal strengths, interests and passions.
- Teen intergenerational programs encourage social engagement and connect teens to community. Studies show that teens who are engaged in civic activities are more likely to attain higher income and education levels as adults.
