Wyman intentionally seeks to
provide comprehensive youth development programs for youth from disadvantaged
circumstances — or those facing economic or societal circumstances that may
restrict their ability to develop their full potential.
Teen Development
Program participants represent many cultures and ethnicities, including
African-American, Asian American, Bosnian, Caucasian, Eastern European,
Hispanic and Native American, to provide youth with a diverse environment in
which to learn and build relationships.
For our Wyman Teen Leadership Program, schools or other youth-serving
organizations working in partnership with Wyman nominate potential program
participants who are incoming eighth graders meeting the following criteria:
- Expressed interest and enthusiasm for the program
- At-grade-level school performance and an interest in
learning
- Record of positive behavior in the community and school
- Reliable and consistent parental or guardian support
- Demonstrated desire to succeed
- Ability to fully participate in an active, outdoor camping program
- Inability to afford such a program (annual household income of no
more than $10,000 per family member)
