It was started by teens at CCS, for teens at CCS so you know you'll have fun.

Once a month we schedule fun activities so if you want to join us & hang out give us a call!

• Having fun doing something to give back to
  the community using your strengths
  & talents
• Learn more about building skills to get ready
  for being more independent as you approach adulthood
• Participate in advocacy to help raise
  awareness in the community about the
  power of youth voice - & help make the
  system better for youth in foster care in
      Georgia.

The CCS Youth Group started back in 2001 after a couple of teens let us know that they really wanted a chance to hang out with and meet other teens living in families with CCS. Back then, there were not a lot of teens living with families at CCS. Today, at any given time we usually have 40+ teens living with families…so CCS Youth Group has grown by leaps and bounds! CCS Youth Group is called a group and not a 'program' on purpose. Teens who wanted to start the group let us know that they are already in a lot of 'programs' - so we don't use that language to describe what the group does. Much like a community youth group - it's just a chance to hang out and meet other teens, with a few goals thrown in for good measure.
