The Words Alive Adolescent Book Group program serves at-risk adolescents, most of whom have been referred to specialized community schools by the Juvenile Court system and have experienced extraordinary circumstances such as violence, pregnancy and homelessness. Each month between October and May, a facilitator and up to seven trained volunteers conduct facilitated book group discussions. Through reading and sharing opinions about books, book group participants enhance self-esteem and develop the ability to put their own life experience into larger context.
The Adolescent Book Group program is currently offered at Choice Summit School, Chula Vista Main Street, Lindsay School, Monarch School, Mission School at Casa de Amparo, and North County Technology & Science Academy.
