Helping Kids Help Themselves

Youth Cornerstone facilitates three programs for the youth of Oklahoma County; THRIVE (Truancy Habits Reduced Increasing Valuable Education), ASC (Art Shaping Character) and SIPP (Suspension Intervention and Prevention Program).

THRIVE helps parents of chronically truant students recommit to education; and focuses on truancy and drop out prevention through mediation and Skills Education Programming. THRIVE is in partnership with the Oklahoma County District Attorney's Office, The Oklahoma City Police Department and the Oklahoma City Public Schools.

ASC is an arts-based character building program that works with children who live in circumstances beyond their control. ASC provides programming to the SIP Program, area elementary schools,group homes and shelters.  Projects focus on problems that kids encounter on a daily basis and utilize art as an arena to help them express themselves.

SIPP is an accountability program for students who have been long or short term suspended or expelled from school. For the duration of their suspension, students come to the SIP Program during school hours to complete their school work, character building and life skills programming.

SIPP 2.0 is a GED program for students 16-18 years old.  The GED program is a free preparation class designed to evaluate and prepare students for the GED exam.  For class times and locations, contact us.
