We believe it is vitally important for our students to learn, understand and appreciate the importance of work ethic, and be able to apply it to their lives. Our “Work Hard Play Hard” philosophy helps us to achieve this goal. We implement this through charity, meaningful community service, school work, therapy/program assignments, chores and apprenticeships/employment. After working hard it is equally important to play hard (and we do).
We teach the youth in our program that giving back to the community not only builds character but builds compassion as well. It is an amazing feeling for our youth and staff to see the impact we are having on people not only in Utah, but across the world as well.
At Triumph Youth Services community service is mandatory whether the youth is court ordered to do community service or not. Each young man must complete a minimum amount of community service hours in order to advance through the levels. Community service promotes empathy, creates growth, builds work ethic and gives students an opportunity to “give back”.
When teenagers learn to serve others, they become empowered. They leave the program believing they can make a difference in the world (and they CAN). Making the world a better place starts by showing, and teaching adolescents how to work and how they can be part of impacting the future through serving others.
Some of our most recent community service activities were working with the Wasatch Widgeons and at the Utah fairgrounds.
