W(rec)K-LESS is our high school prosocial activities group. Youth in this program participate in a wide variety of positive activities, from swimming to outdoor sports, from arts & crafts to movie nights. Participants develop strong peer relationships as they try new things or engage in favorite activities together.

This program group is open to any high school age student living in Lake County, with transportation and snacks are provided by Full Circle at each activity.

Youth Action Squad groups meet after-school. In addition to having fun together, YAS participants design and implement prevention and promotion campaigns at school and in the larger community, using Random Acts of Kindness content to inspire some ideas.

YAS students design community surveys about pressing health and safety concerns in the community, they administer the survey to community members (especially their peers), they analyze survey responses, and then share the learnings from that analysis with community stakeholders, e.g. school leadership, local government, and law enforcement agencies, advocating for changes they believe will benefit youth in Lake County.

In leading these projects, youth develop SEL, meaningfully practice leadership and advocacy, drive positive community change, and strengthen their voices.

This program group is open to any high school age student living in Lake County, with transportation and snacks are provided by Full Circle at each activity.

Be Awesome is a youth leadership group that meets weekly at lunchtime. Youth in this group design and implement prevention and promotion campaigns at school (using Random Acts of Kindness content to inspire some ideas) including fun, educational activities that they lead for their peers during lunch.

Be Awesome participants often collaborate with YAS participants in the work of community mapping and school-wide advocacy.

Be Awesome youth develop SEL, meaningfully practice leadership and advocacy, drive positive school-wide change, and strengthen their voices.

This program group is open to any high school age student living in Lake County, and snacks are provided by Full Circle at each activity.
