Unity 4Teens/Middle School

The Unity 4Teens (U4T) Youth Development program was initiated in 2011 in response to the growing need for structure, enrichment, and mentoring opportunities for some of Broward’s underserved middle school-age youth. Our program has been designed to help students achieve academic and social success, reduce any risk behaviors present, learn skills to help them grow into self-sufficient, productive adults.

Through our 2Generation approach, we not only have our youth in mind, but we also work with the families. Our success coaches will connect youth – and their families – to essential services and provide follow-up meetings with to ensure both youth and their family’s needs are being met.

U4T is a year-round after-school and summer program aiming to help eligible students attending one of the following middle schools in Broward County:

• Apollo Middle school - 6800 Arthur Street, Hollywood, FL 33024
• Attucks Middle School - 3500 N 22nd Avenue, Hollywood, FL 33020
