Program areas at Bench Mark Program
Bench Mark Program is in our 10th year of operating our open gym Program and we now serve an average of more than 60 youth/night during regular opeation. This equates to over 250 individual youth/year in this Program alone. The launch of our women's strength and fitness center will increase these numbers in the year ahead, and in 2023, we saw a slow increase in young women attendance at open gym, on average 10 young women/night during regular operation. The wsfc operates within the second floor of the oganization's facility at 102 s prince street and includes programming that meets the specific needs and interests of young women in our community. Our student leadership Program continues to operate within the open gym, now serving a total of 12 youth/year.
We are in our second year of operating our predisposition Program, which provides 1:1 mentoring to high-risk youth with gun crime charges. This Program initially served 4 youth/day and is now serving up to 8 youth/day. This Program was supported by a grant from the pa commission on crime and delinquency and is now supported by a county contract (official contract start is 06/2024).
We are in our sixth year of operating our strength-based skill building Program and it now serves over 30 youth/year.
In addition to these programs, we are operating within the following branch site locations: lancaster county youth intervention center, columbia high school, and lincoln middle school where we serve about 10 students per day per branch site.
