FRESH LIFELINES FOR YOUTH
PHS is partnering with Fresh Lifelines For Youth (FLY) to help provide support to our youth
FLY’s Law Program is a semester-long legal education and life skills course that teaches youth about the law and consequences of crime. Research shows that youth who are exposed to legal education are less likely to break the law. FLY’s nationally-recognized law curriculum uses role-play, debates, and mock city council hearings to capture youth interest, educate them about the law, and build skills like anger management, problem solving, communication, and resisting negative peer pressure.
Highly trained volunteers and FLY staff teach the course in teams, developing rapport with youth and giving them access to positive role models. The course covers a range of topics, including theft, vandalism, hate crimes, drugs and alcohol, the Three-Strikes Law, Proposition 21, and gangs.
