Benefits of Installing Club Extreme Opportunity at Your School
- Provides incentive to stay on the "right path" of all of the distractions like bullying, alcohol, drugs, and crime.
- Provides incentive to get a high school diploma.
- Provides a platform to teach and learn coping skills to junior high and high school students.
- Provides a wellness "task force"
- Decrease negative behaviors and improve positive behaviors with junior high and high school students.
- Learns about the “job duties” of entry-level jobs in healthcare that pay between $12-$19 per hour, with only a high school diploma combined with no criminal record. We provide incentive to join the “Club” by learning of, what many high school students consider, high paying jobs (non-minimum wage, fast food).
During our club meetings, we cover the actual duties of the healthcare technician jobs that exist. In tandem, we have the opportunity to teach coping skills techniques at the start of each meeting, so students can “clear their minds” what may have been a rough day. With the tasks assigned as part of the club, we are creating active health ambassadors in the community that reflects positively in outcomes-based reimbursement.
- We decrease the stress levels of the entire community, by installing a single program in a school.
- Need to stretch the hourly wage/salary paid to Behavior Therapists on staff at school, to help 5-10 times the amount of children per hour, instead of current 1:1 ratio.
