About Us

 Wyman's evidence-based Teen Outreach Program (TOP) is a positive youth development program designed to help teens build educational success, life and leadership skills, and healthy behaviors and relationships. As a result, teens are better able to navigate challenges during the teenage years - a time when decisions matter.  

• Teens meet weekly at host schools across the UP.
• Teens participate in monthly group activities (such as kayaking, skiing, rock climbing, camping, etc.) with their designated TOP Club. 
• Teens are required to complete at least 20 hours of community service learning over the course of the program year. 

• Teens build and hone social and emotional skills, like managing emotions, problem-solving, decision-making and empathy, that are proven to help them be successful during the teenage years, and also later in life.
• Teens improve academic performance, and lower risky behaviors like truancy and suspension that lead to dropout.

 Each TOP Club is 100% free for all middle and high school members due to the generous funding of the Portage Health Foundation.  

Thank you for making this all possible!
