HOW CHILD YOUTH GRASSROOT CENTRE WORKS As a strong ground program, CYgC goes one step beyond the imitation to commit to a behavior free lifestyle. It provides an opportunity for youth and children make a strong commitment to change in life. This decision may be of the greatest importance in maintaining resistance to many massages in today’s society, which promote social behavioral and other bad practices to solve life’s problems
Thus there is an important reason why CYgC is “non tradition” it has as its target the young person who is not already spoiled up with society youth and children, like other people, can be divided into several categories.
Converted Youth whose hearts and lives are committed to life style change.
Youth children who have become a acquainted with behavior style but are undecided about whether to surrender their lives to behavior change. They are not hostile, just uncertain.
Youth and children who are alienated and hostile behavior change. They may be rebelling against parental beliefs or may be atheistic because of education against behavior change. They see no value in behavior change for them.
Youth in children who have never had any exposure to behavior change. They are secular minded, strangers to new life style.
Child youth grassroots center targets its effort to the last three categories, although it welcomes the dedicated behavior change young person and utilizes them as staff. It seeks to win the hearts and minds of these undecided alienated, or inexperienced youth by facilitating the development of friendship networks with them. When trust and friendship bonds have been established, the CYgC youth staff are able to introduce them to behavior change world, or discuss with them how to live a healthy life and the most reliable side of it, trust–worthy and devoted friend is possible.
Repeatedly, young people who have attended a child youth grassroots conference testify that they found new health life style at the conference and while there, gave out their lives to behavior change. Child youth grassroots center is a powerful magnet for youth and children who are difficult or impossible to reach by traditional means drawing these child youth into the living embrace of other behavior changed ones. We can visualize the process as a “flowering of behavioral awareness” because of the warm peer-to-peer friendship environment
CORE VALUE Abstinence is valued. One of the fundamental beliefs of the Kaknock foundation is the importance of abstinent life, avoiding an healthy life styles and other addictive because they damage and destroy life.
Positive attitude and experiences are fostered. No child or youth did God create with negative things, All the frowns, tear, pain, hostility, shame and death in the world some come as decisions we make in life .We are positive beings, by fostering joy, smiles, laughter, honesty, trust, teamwork, love, peace encouragement and support CYgC operates on behavior change side. Our “playing field” is in harmony with restoration of God made healthy behaviors.
The inner child is nurtured inside every person remains an unseen “inner child” keeping in touch with the playfulness, simplicity, innocence and trust of that child is encouraged by the foundation
Self worth is encouraged. Children and youth are not junk but a correct foundation for self-esteem. Then young people realize how valued they are by behavioral change, they begin to develop self-respect and self knowledge positive self-esteem is well known to be protective against the false appeal of mid –altering behavioral change.
Acceptance and love are unconditional. The ethical foundation of “honor” dignity and respect at CygC creates an environment where every one can feel valued and wanted.
Positive interpersonal relationships are strengthened. The experiences in family groups, the warm fuzzier expressed among participants, the philosophy of honor, dignity and respect all contributes to a bonding and unity among youth and children which is much need in the society.
