www.naturalhigh.org/casestudies The YMCA PRYDE program works to support kids as they develop self-esteem in an effort to support their decision making. Kids meet with advisors weekly after school to talk about what’s going on in their lives and to learn about building their community and contributing back to their community. Paolo is an advisor who works with kids in the YMCA PRYDE program, offering them resources and opportunities for service learning. Working with Natural High, Paolo was able to ignite conversations about community, decision making, and developing a personal support team to lean on. Paolo wove Natural High into his already existing afterschool curriculum. Over the span of 6 weeks, incorporating one 45-60 minute Natural High lesson per week, which included a Natural High video, discussion questions, and supporting activities. The students in the YMCA PRYDE program were so engaged with the Natural High content that Paolo and other staff were able to use it with a broader community at a YMCA PRYDE retreat hosted in the spring of 2019.
