Summer can be a challenging time for middle school youth and the current events have added to the already difficult adolescent period. To help youth successfully navigate through this complicated period of their lives and the uncertainty of the future, youth need positive role models; high, clear and fair expectations; and opportunities to contribute and experience success.
