The Council
The Council is a program hosted by The Alley Teen Center that promotes strength, responsibility, and community. The Council recognizes strengths and capacities, challenges stereotypes, questions unsafe attitudes about masculinity, and encourages solidarity through personal responsibility.
The vision for this Council is to help young men open their minds to different perspectives and skills to make a better future for themselves.
*These programs are in partnership with the Kent County Local Management Board.
