We at Aspire love fall! Sweaters, cool breezes, and continuing to bring our programming to students are some of our favorite things about fall. What’s your favorite part of fall?

We are always seeking to understand teens better. We wanted to share this great tip from Ascend: “For teens, “full stops” (i.e. sentences that end with a period) are seen as “intimidating,” and are assume to convey a tone of anger or frustration. “Pistaphobia,” or fear of the period punctuation mark, is definitely a thing amongst teens. Since teens see each individual text as a full thought, adding a period can seem unnecessary and even passive-aggressive. Of course, for those of us who aren’t digital natives, skipping the period at the end of a text isn’t exactly second nature. But when your teen pings you with team practice times or a quick message to say they’ll be a little late, be aware that your quick response of “Okay.“ could be interpreted as terse or foreboding.” We hope this is helpful. Teens, is it true?!

JAM!! Located by Regal Cinemas, there’s so much to do from axe throwing, life size Jenga, air hockey, dancing, life size checkers, and more. We had so much fun! $20 got us 1 hour of axe throwing, but we could have chosen $15 for a half hour. We didn’t have to throw axes if we didn’t want to. There’s a little restaurant too. Grab your friends and try it out! 🪓

Aspire’s team spent the past two days attending the Global Leadership Summit 2020. We are so thankful to @crystal_river_church for hosting the event. So many great takeaways!

We have been loving our time at the Boys and Girls Club! We just finished our first week of activities and Ms. Tori and Ms. Mercedes have done a great job of teaching the kids about relationships, boundaries and feelings! It’s awesome to work with younger students because they are the future of #citruscounty. #shakeupcitrus #shakingupcitrus #boundaries

Just checking in to say we believe in YOU! You have value, a purpose and are worthy of healthy relationships! #aspire #shakeitupcitrus

Are you summer-ready? Summer can be an enjoyable time with friends and family, but it can also be a time where rules and curfew are more relaxed… which can lead to risky-behaviors! Here are 3 ways to have a risk-free summer: 1. Remember your boundaries! When you are out with friends, make sure to communicate your boundaries and what you are comfortable with. 2. Summer-love sounds romantic, but it takes up to 400 hours of contact to really know a person! Before you jump into dating a new person, make sure to log some quality communication hours. Hang out in a group of friends, plan fun outdoor activities and don’t rush the process! 3. Focus on growing yourself holistically! We believe that risk-free health is more than just your physical body. Try to engage in activities this summer that challenge and develop you within the PIESSF framework (Physically, Intellectually, Emotionally, Socially, Spiritually and Financially). Growing and becoming more confident in these areas are great ways to protect yourself against risky-behaviors! #aspire #shakingupcitrus

Summer time in Florida + Covid-19 restrictions lifting = A great opportunity to grab a friend and enjoy some fresh air!
