Testimonials
-
Amanda (TASD resident 2004-2007)“TASD is still around to help me when I need it. In alumni services everyone has been so much help. They're there for me when I need advice or need anyone to talk to no matter the cause.” -
Maria (TASD resident 2003-2005)“When I was living at TASD I didn't like the rules. After I left I realized they taught me a lot because I am somebody.”
Youth Activities
Toussaint Academy ensures that its youth are regularly involved in activities that bring both insight and enjoyment. The following are just a few of the ways in which our youth are able to learn, engage, and grow:
• After completing their homework with USD tutors, residents may choose to develop their public-speaking and leadership skills at our Toastmasters’ International Speech Class.
• Residents explore conflict resolution, self-control, and other proactive communication skills at the Alternative to Violence Class.
• A rotating group of artists leads residents through a variety of creative activities during art courses sponsored by Angela Brannon and It’s All About the Kids Foundation.
• Residents can relax and regroup at special outings designed around bookstores, coffeehouses, and yogurt mills.
• Weekends and Holidays provide residents the chance to develop interests ranging from film (through visits to the drive-in) and bicycling to horseback riding, laser tag, and rollerblading.
