So Much More Than an After School Program

H2O youth are empowered through a variety of research based programming including Support Groups, Life Skills & Character Education, Recreational Activities and Field Trips, Service Opportunities, Mentoring, Tutoring, as well as Focus groups ran inside the Valley View School District 365U Middle and High Schools.

These programs offer a balanced approach to meet the Emotional, Physical, Intellectual, Social, and Spiritual needs of our youth.

Tonight's Going Deeper was full of laughter, energy, and conversations about why rules exist (that happened to involve baking a cake)! Going Deeper happens every Thursday night from 7-8:30 p.m. and is a place for teens to learn about character and life skills through games, activities, and group discussions.
Warmest thoughts and best wishes for a wonderful holiday and a very Happy New Year! With Love, Heart Haven OutReach
