Chartering New Paths
C.N.P. (Chartering New Paths)
The world is a tough place for Latino teenagers. There are everyday pressures to use tobacco, drink alcohol, use narcotics, skip school, be violent, join gangs, and make bad choices. C.N.P. is a bilingual program designed to shape and mold Hispanic youth into young adults who are responsible and make wise choices. This program is an opportunity for Hispanic youth to socialize and interact with their Hispanic peers in a safe and drug-free environment.
Students enrolled in C.N.P. experience a well-rounded curriculum that teaches things such as drug prevention, job skills, abstinence and safe sex practices, non-violent solutions to problems, and the importance of life skills such as honesty and accountability. Students learn through presentations, guest speakers, hands-on activities, videos, games, and other methods. Monthly recreational field trips are also offered to students based on attendance.
C.N.P. students meet twice a week. In the spring and fall, class is from five to seven in the evening and during the summer, class is from three to six pm. Students receive dinner at each class and transportation is provided by CTN on a limited basis. C.N.P. is open to students ages twelve to seventeen and is funded by 21st Century Community Learning Centers, DAC (Drug & Alcohol Consortium), and Lincoln Financial Group.
