We are proud to be a 2014 CHEERS Site!!
Taylor Tabernacle (our parent organization) will be a
community host site for CHEERS - a city-wide and renowned youth empowerment program that is sponsored and managed by the
Philadelphia Police Department. The CHEERS Program is free to the public, welcomes drop-in registrants and provides both breakfast and lunch to all program participants. The 2014 CHEERS Program begins Saturday, March 1, 2014 and runs through Saturday, April 12, 2014.
The Community Health Enrichment Empowerment Resource Services Program (CHEERS) was created to provide our 8 to 17 year-old children with the necessary tools to make well informed decisions when confronted with situations that have the potential to negatively impact their lives. The mission of the CHEERS program is:
· to create self-worth through positive motivation and objective outlooks for the future of our youth
· provide our youth with the necessary resources to become contributing members of society
· empower our youth to make positive decisions therefore impacting positive change upon the community and their lives.
· enrich the lives of our youth through exposure to positive community involvement with an emphasis on education
In 2013 nearly three hundred youth participated in the program which culminated with a graduation luncheon in mid-April. CHEERS targets five areas of the city that have been plagued by violence. Through collaboration between the Philadelphia Police Department, School District of Philadelphia, behavioral health organizations, community and private interest groups, and various city agencies CHEERS participants are not only provided with lessons that will serve them well throughout their lives, but are also provided with breakfast and lunch at each meeting.
