Science behind TOP Club
Wyman's evidence-based Teen Outreach Program (TOP) is a positive youth development program designed to help teens build educational success, life and leadership skills, and healthy behaviors and relationships. As a result, teens are better able to navigate challenges during the teenage years - a time when decisions matter.
What Do TOP Members Do?
- Teens meet weekly at host schools across the UP
- Teens participate in monthly group activities (such as kayaking, skiing, rock climbing, camping, etc.) with their designated club
- Teens are required to complete at least 20 hours of community service learning over the course of the program year
What Are The Benefits Of TOP?
- Teens build and hone social and emotional skills, like managing emotions, problem-solving, decision-making and empathy, that are proven to help them be successful during the teenage years, and also later in life
- Teens improve academic performance, and lower risky behaviors like truancy and suspension that lead to dropout
