What is Real World Connections?

Growing up is confusing! So we created the Real World Connections program to provide a safe setting for camaraderie, support, and positive guidance. Real World Connections is comprised of like-minded teens who meet together while learning to understand the complex social world.

What are the benefits of attending?

Guys and gals gather weekly with trained staff members and volunteers to discuss life challenges. Together in their small group, they learn and practice social and communication skills, learning from each other as well as from the evidence-based iCan House social skills curriculum. As a trusted adult who is NOT their parent, facilitators are positive role models with whom to talk about tough issues.

When does Real World Connections take place?

In addition to weekly club meetings, members can attend co-ed social activities for opportunities to enjoy age-appropriate social fun and practice the skills they are learning in group discussions.

Real World Connections

Real World Connections is a unique social learning program for teens who want extra help figuring out the social world and the unspoken rules that come with being a teenager. Groups of like-minded individuals meet each week to participate in activities using our evidence-based social skills curriculum. Trained staff facilitate group interactions creating peer-to-peer learning opportunities.

Through the club, members experience new social connections and make friends while learning and having fun!
