Available at Goleta Valley, La Colina, La Cumbre, and Santa Barbara Junior High Schools
The AHA! Peace Builders Junior High program is an after-school club that meets weekly on different days at each school served:
La Cumbre: Mondays
Goleta Valley: Tuesdays
Santa Barbara: Wednesdays
La Colina: Thursdays
This year-long program promotes leadership skills and social-emotional learning and builds positive, healthy community in the crucial year before high school.
Through games, interactive dialogues, and team-building, teens are given tools and resources to make strong friendships on campus, contribute to positive campus culture, and become a part of a community of well-resourced youth and trustworthy adult guides who are all empowered to make a difference in Santa Barbara.
AHA! Peace Builders Junior High Program is available to all 8th grade students at these four schools. It is an interview-based program with a limited number of spots on each campus. Placement is first-come, first-served. Enrollment for AHA! junior high programs starts in September, with programs beginning in October and running through mid-May.
