Skills For Adolescence – A Value-based Educative Initiative

To promote positive youth development, this programme was started in 1975 by Mr. Rick Little. Lions Club International Foundation (LCIF) took over completely in 2002. The programme aims –

  • Skills for Growing
  • Skills for adolescence
  • Skills for Actions

Skills for Adolescence encourages the young pupils aged 12-14 to say ‘NO’ to alcohol, tobacco and other drugs by emphasizing good judgement, responsibility and goal setting.

Skill for Growing is a value based education for pupils up to the age of nine or ten who are trained to learn effective thinking and social skills that lead to positive behaviour and strong character. Emphasis is placed on the role of family, school, and community in the development of a child’s decision-making process.

Skills for Action are the personal and social responsibility of the youth, aged between 15 and 19, are the focal points of the programme. By taking part in service-learning projects, participants learn life skills that include interpersonal communication, co-operation, proactive learning and thoughtful citizenship.
