Clinton/Baden Community Center 485 N. Clinton Ave. Pamela Jackson - Program Director Baden Street Settlement's Activities Department offers youth ages 6 - 18 positive choices in leisure time activities, encourages academic success and helps at-risk youth avoid behavior including juvenile delinquency. Statistic show that the Baden Street approach works. Youth who currently participate in the activities department boast an 87% daily school attendance record – 17% higher that the standard set by the Rochester City School District. Youth age 6-13 in the program also have only a 2% suspension rate as compared with the district-wide rate of 25%. By working closely with the schools and families, we believe we can achieve 0% suspensions among our young people.
Juvenile delinquency is most prevalent among youth 14-17. Baden Street Settlement places a high priority on serving this age group with positive and rewarding activities that offer good choices and healthy alternatives that eliminate boredom and the opportunity to commit crimes. The programs include outreach counseling, life skills workshops, shock camp, dance, athletics, charm classes, homework tutoring and clubs. Pop Warner Football and Cheerleading are among Baden Street’s most popular youth programs. Upon registration an immediate academic assessment is undertaken. Youth who are struggling in school are provided with tutoring assistance to improve their academic performance. Youth who hold a "B" or better average become "All-American." The Activities Department also sponsors a summer day camp and before and after school programs at Schools #6, #9 and #22. Parenting and life skills, sports and athletics, CPR and First Aid and parents and coaches clubs are offered for the adults of children in Baden Street's programs. |
