Program development · Facility search · No start date announced
THE IDEA
Your future is worth investing in.
B.U.Y.-In is not a demand that teenagers perform enthusiasm. It is a commitment to build credible opportunities, consistent relationships, useful skills, and room for youth to shape the experience.
| Age band | Emphasis |
|---|---|
| 13–14 · Identity Builders | Belonging, boundaries, voice, peer choices, digital conduct, regulation, and school connection. |
| 15–17 · Legacy Builders | Leadership, relationships, employment readiness, money, service, portfolio work, and transition planning. |
FIVE DEVELOPMENT LANES
Build a plan you can call your own.
01
Identity & belonging
Strengths, culture, values, self-respect, and trustworthy relationships.
02
Regulation & relationships
Body cues, safe expression, communication, boundaries, and repair.
03
School, work & money
Task planning, reliability, career exposure, practical budgeting, and next steps.
04
Voice, media & creativity
Storytelling, design, conversation, media literacy, and youth-generated projects.
05
Leadership & service
Listen, propose a change, plan, contribute, and show what was completed.
YOUTH VOICE
Make something that matters.
Projects may include media, community-service planning, presentations, youth council recommendations, creative work, and a personal next-step portfolio. This is program design—not a promise of employment, paid placements, or public media publication.
Adults remain responsible for safety. Sharing a personal story is voluntary; a group is not a place to require trauma disclosure.
PROGRAM IDENTITY
A CGT pathway, not an automatic clinical service.
B.U.Y.-In is within Cincy Grind Time’s community program. It is not a separate website at /buy-youth/ and is not Reach One’s clinical youth program. Any clinical care is separately chosen, consented, and provided.
