menu is tailored to meet the specific needs of the school, student and parent
community. The variety offered stimulates students with challenging
opportunities for growth and development outside of the school classroom.
Age-appropriate materials and equipment are used, along with highly-skilled
service providers. Youth Guidance is able to employ an economy of scale
approach to offer in-demand enrichments at competitively discounted rates.
Classes are
based on the input from the school, parents, instructors, and students.
Surveys are sent out before each session. If you have suggestions for
classes your student would like to participate in, please contact Melanie
Unterfranz, STEM Resource Coordinator, at Munterfranz@youth-guidance.org.
