 Welcome to Magic

The MAGIC program includes four meetings with the parents/guardians of teens in our program. The initial meeting explains the program to you and your teens and obtains permission for the teen to participate. This meeting is conducted by a MAGIC youth faciltator. During this meeting the facilitator will explain the MAGIC program to your teen and will also answer any questions you may have. MAGIC is a national award-winning program that helps teens increase their self esteem, improve attitudes towards peers and school, and increase communication with parents and other adults. Parents of MAGIC teens consistently report improvement in their teen's behavior and report an increase in their own knowledge of parenting techniques. A study conducted one year after involvement in the program indicates that skills learned in MAGIC are helping youth stay out of trouble.

The program will teach your teen and others in the group how to make wise decisions, accept responsibility for their actions and communicate effectively. This program also offers additional support to your family. However, as a parent, you are the most influential person in your teen's life.
