Impacting Youth |
Impacting Parents |
With gratitude, our local school leaders have welcomed us into their schools, giving us the opportunity to educate and build relationships with students. Our focus has been on youth grades 6-12, as we know this is a prominent time in their decision making, self-identity, and self-efficacy. We will give our youth some of the tools they need to make what could be life-altering decisions.
Impacting CommunityThe late Author Susan Vreeland said, "Where there is no human connection, there is no compassion." Our goal is to connect with our community. Listen to their needs as it relates to our work. Address real issues by collecting and analyzing real data and then DOING something about it. SEOC connects with community leaders as well, to ensure opportunities for change and growth.

It is no secret that much of a child's life is impacted by their home life. As we empower our parents, we empower our youth. Through efficient resources and face-to-face discussions, we challenge our parents to be prepared to have tough conversations with their youth to live a healthy life and get help when needed.
YOU. Impacting with US!Whoever you are, you can connect with us so that together we can make greater impact in the lives around us!
