Check in for Charity: The Youth Excellence Project

The Check in for May and June is the Connecticut Youth Excellence Project(YEP) of Outside Perspectives, Inc. YEP is a volunteer- oriented program that provides at-risk, male youth with adult mentorship in outdoor spaces with goals to promote health and build resilience in the face of significant life challenges, including maltreatment, adversity, loss, and trauma. Many of these youth lack supportive adult relationships and struggle with significant mental health problems, including PTSD, depression, anxiety, and suicidality. Many also represent racial/ethnic minority populations that face the additional burden of discrimination and health disparities.

 

SIN Fitness member Damion Grasso founded the program in 2014 and continues to volunteer as program lead. As a licensed clinical psychologist and Associate Professor at UCONN, youth mentor, advocate and foster parent, Damion has worked extensively with adversity-exposed youth and believes in the program’s capacity to help these boys beat the odds. Throughout the year-long program Damion and his volunteers connect the youth with supportive adults who can be an ongoing resource for them when the program ends. Many of the youth have returned to volunteer as young adults.
