This is a favorite among our teens. The Pro Deo house opens its doors to you for a home cooked meal and a relaxed environment to just be you. Sometimes we play games, watch movies, sit and chat, but we always have fun and we always make memories.
Lakeland Community Church offers an amazing event for us on Thursday Night called “Sports Night”, From 7-9pm. Come and play Arena Ball and Ultimate Frisbee, eat hot dogs, or just come and hang out with friends in the parking lot.
We acknowledge that being a teenage girl is one of the hardest things, so we stick together to make it easier. Tuesdays from 4-5pm . This is a time in the week where just girls get together to be girls. We talk about girl things, hang out as girls, and just enjoy life together.
Monthly we have girl outings and continue to enjoy the craziness that being a girl brings. If you need someone to cry with, eat chocolate with, vent to, or go prom dress shopping with…we’re your girls!
Let’s face it, there aren’t many FREE, fun options for teens in Lee’s Summit, so we offer just that. Some things we’ve offered in the past include photo scavenger hunts, movie nights, bonfires, minute-to-win it, ping pong tournaments, paint ball, capture the flag, and so much more!
Sometimes life throws us curve balls that knock us on our butts. We get hurt, feel abandoned, feel useless, or just seem down. Unbidden is a time in our week where teens can meet with a professional counselor in a group setting to deal with the lows or the things that they are stuggling with. This includes but is not limited to: Parents Divorce, Self Mutilation, Eating Disorders, Anxiety, Depression, Grief, Pill/drug or Alcohol addiction, Abuse, Suicidal thoughts. Come and be heard, know that you are loved, and that you are not alone.
When: 6-7pm Thursday (before sports night)
Where: Lakeland Community Church
Pro Deo’s core belief is that every person deserves to have someone in their corner. If you want an adult to advocate for you, cheer you on, or join you in your journey, you may enjoy having a mentor. A mentor is someone who will get together with you-usually on a weekly basis-to listen to you, talk about life, do fun things together, support you in activities you are doing at school or in the community, believe in you and encourage you throughout your journey…
Most people think teenagers are incapable of accomplishing great things, or doing much of anything except vacationing from responsibility. We’re not like most people. Young adults have enormous potential, energy, and strength, If you are ready to do more than you thinki you can, if you are ready to rebel against low expectations, if you are ready to do hard things, then join us: every Saturday from 7-9am at the Pro Deo House.
So much of Pro Deo fits in the Miscellaneous category. Pro Deo is all about meeting teens’ needs and a lot of time there is not a particular “program” or “service” that encompasses everything that a teenager needs. So the Miscellaneous part of our services are to meet you where you are and to help you get where you want to be…whatever that looks like and however we can help.
As always if you need a ride to any of our events or need a ride during the week, call us at (google number)
