Navajo Youth Builders (NYB) has partnered with the Wyman Center to facilitate the Teen Outreach Program® (TOP). TOP® teaches youth how to make the best decisions possible in regards to teen pregnancy, risky behavior and focuses on enhancing youth development. Wyman’s Teen Outreach Program® (TOP®) is an evidence-based best practice program specifically designed for teens in 6th to 12th grade. Guide
d by an engaging and relevant nine-month curriculum, TOP® reduces the risk of problem behavior while promoting healthy choices and empowering teens to lead successful lives and build strong communities. This cost-effective approach is grounded in contemporary research and nationally recognized as a program that delivers real results. Wyman’s TOP® works by providing communities, organizations and schools with a tested framework for creating or enhancing local youth development efforts. There are three essential goals that every teen in our program can build a foundation of success from: healthy behaviors, life skills, and a sense of purpose. Funding for this project was made possible under funding announcement # OPHS/OHA-TPP Tier1-2010 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, Office of Adolescent Health, and with funding support from the Administration for Children, Youth and Families/Family and Youth Services Bureau.
