  • Youth Mentoring and Running Program

    SRPS YOUTH (6TH-GRADUATION) ARE PAIRED WITH SUPPORTIVE MENTORS WHO TRAIN ALONGSIDE THEM, STUDENTS PROVE THEY CAN CONTINUE TO PUSH FORWARD REGARDLESS OF HOW FAR AWAY THE FINISH LINE MAY SEEM. ENDURANCE IS HABIT FORMING, AND AS STUDENTS LEARN TO SET AND ACCOMPLISH GOALS PHYSICALLY, THESE SKILLS TRANSFER TO PROBLEM-SOLVING ELSEWHERE. TO KEEP MOVING FORWARD, STUDENTS MUST BE PATIENT, DEDICATED, AND ESSENTIALLY, RESILIENT. THESE LEARNED BEHAVIORS TEACH STUDENTS THAT SUCCESS IN A RACE DOES NOT DEPEND ON BEING THE FASTEST, BUT RATHER ON CROSSING THE FINISH LINE. BY APPLYING THESE LEARNED BEHAVIORS, STUDENTS LEARN THE VALUE OF SHOWING UP AND TROUBLESHOOTING CHALLENGES.
