Pro Deo can sustain and deliver a variety of interventions during after-school and weekend educational programs and activities. Through a solid plan of action delivered with fidelity by Pro Deo staff, the teens will be equipped with skills to help them fulfill an individualized care plan for improvement of their own health/wellness program, college/career preparation, and social/emotional support to not only survive the teens years but thrive in the Lee’s Summit community. 1. We believe that teens have a voice which needs to be heard and valued in the community. 2. We believe that every teen deserves to have someone in their corner. 3. We believe that goals and dreams are admirable and to be encouraged. 4. We believe that young people need to have character development encouraged, taught, and lived out by example. 5. We believe that there should be a safe, fun, empowering environment for teens to grow and develop. 6. We believe that the basic needs of teens need to be met if we expect them to function in the community in a healthy manner. 7. We believe that teenagers deserve to be surrounded by their community, their family, and caring adults. 8. We believe it takes a village to raise a family. Therefore, Pro Deo is not only here for teens but for parents and the community.
