L.A.M.P. Community Youth Programs
use music, sports and other activities to draw high risk teens and preteens and help
them learn to build productive lives. About 60% of these young people come by Juvenile Court mandate. 10-15% are
referred by their schools. The others are mainly friends of court and school referred youth who come because their friends
invite them.
| Music serves as a hook to catch participants' inte |
|
| And teaches discipline and working towards a goal |
L.A.M.P. may be the only program where those sentenced to attend find so much help
and joy in being part of it that they consistantly bring their friends.
73% of those who successfully complete the program remain free from the gangs.
69% graduate from high school another 11% complete GED or other alternative programs. Less than 8% become unwed parents.
| SPORTS OFFER FUN AND LEARNING |
|
| TEAMWORK, DISCIPLINE, SELF RESPECT AND MORE |
L.A.M.P. serves people from all races and ethnic groups. One strength
of L.A.M.P. programs is that it can serve Hispanic youth in a culturally comfortable and relevant setting and can reach Spanish
speaking youth and their families with staff members who know not just their language but their cultural traditions and the
differences within the Hispanic groups in our community.

Samaritain guide rates L.A.M.P. youth programs as Excellent
We appreciate this free site at Tripod. Because it
is free we have no control over the ads nor do we in any way promote,endorse, or have any association with what is advertised.
Some of the ads seem to be for youth programs that are very different from L.A.M.P. which may or may not offer real help to
troubled youth and their families.
