Sean's House: Youth Mental Health Summit- Free Event!

November 1st, 2024 — 11:30 am - 3:30 pm.The Warehouse 1121 Thatcher St. Wilmington, DE This year's theme is a reminder that we are so much more than things we allow ourselves or even others to define us by. Often our mental health is affected as we navigate our identity. It can be difficult when we feel trapped or don't see the possibilities, potential, and often times the reality of all the the amazing things that make us who we are. Gather and Grow Delaware has keynote speakers telling their stories to engage and mobilize youth to end the stigmas to help-seeking behaviors. Also, we are amplifying youth leaders in our own communities to tell their unique and important stories to empower other young people. There are no fees for this event. Lunch and T-shirt will be provided.

Feedback Needed- Open House

This year we changed the format of our open house. We would like to hear from you to help us to continue to evolve our open house to better serve you. Please fill out the survey to provide feedback.

Pathways with a Purpose

AP Computer Science Principles Students use Lego creations to understand the importance of explicit instructions. Students write instructions to guide another group to recreate their masterpieces. If there is a "fail" the groups discuss if the issue was due to lack of clarity within the instructions or an error in following the instructions.

We love our parent groups!
