Here are some of the programs we have helped set up in Montbello.

Each of these programs is evidence-based, matched to community needs and selected by community members.

Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies (PATHS)

PATHS reduces aggression and behavior problems by promoting the development of social and emotional competencies in children during the elementary school age years. Proven outcomes include reduced aggression and problem behavior; improved social emotional outcomes; reduced classroom disruptions; increased academic achievement and engagement. As reported in Science magazine, the PATHS program has been proven to help build executive functions in children's developing brains. These skills are proven predictors of math and reading competence throughout a child's school career. In fact, they're more important to a child's school readiness than IQ scores. PATHS serves 6-11 year olds. This program is available in several Montbello Elementary schools, including Amesse Elementary, Greenwood Academy and Maxwell Elementary. 

STRENGTHENING FAMILIES

Strengthening Families 10-14 program is a 7-session parenting and youth skills program, designed to improve parenting and family management skills, with the long-term goal of reducing aggressive and hostile youth behavior, substance use, and other problem behaviors. Outcomes include reductions in youth substance initiation and use, and aggressive and hostile behavior, as well as improvements in parenting behavior. Strengthening Families 10-14 program serves parents and their 10-14 year old children at community or school settings. This program is taking place at several churches and schools in Montbello. Complete the form below to receive updates about the next session near you.

Having solid reading and writing skills is at the heart of student achievement and therefore must be part of the solution to achieving greater equity in the United States. “With literacy comes academic success, informed decision-making, improved self-esteem, personal empowerment, greater economic opportunities, and active participation in local and global social communities. 

Join Steps To Success Montbello in sharing literacy resources within our Montbello Community.

VIOLENCE, INJURY, PROTECTION AND RISK SCREENING TOOL

Steps to Success offers use of the Violence, Injury, Protection and Risk Screening Tool (VIPRS). This is a violence risk screening tool that is used to match youth at risk for violence to evidenced-based programs. Area health care clinicians at the Montbello Family Clinic, as well as school-based health clinics have been trained to use this tool during routine appointments to assess youth for their need for services.

POSITIVE RECOGNITION CAMPAIGN(Changing The Narrative,Focusing On The Positive)

Steps to Success previously launched a community-wide Positive Recognition Campaign after hearing that youth didn’t always feel they were recognized for efforts they had made at school, home and in the community. We are strengthening our partnership with the Broncos Boys and Girls Club once again to bring the opportunity back into the community. So please visit our photo gallery to view past nominations and awardees.

Steps to Success also supports these evidence-based programs offered by community partners.
