Slam! (short for simple life-changing applicable messages) focuses on issues that urban teens face, from gangs to teen pregnancy to broken homes. They were orginally developed for a teen outreach program in Chicago, but are now are being used in high risk areas around North America. Each Slam! Series lasts ten weeks. Leader Guides, teen handbooks, and verse cards are available.
Ya Knows Sums Ya Grows Sums, is the first and most popular Slam series. These lessons focus on the basics of knowing and growing in Christ, helping urban teens apply it to the tough issues of their environment.
How much curriculum do I need? Start off with a Leader's Guide and at least one teen handbook. The leader's guide contains everything you need (except energy) to pull off a youth meeting. The Teen Handbooks are great for mentoring and keeping tabs and accountability on teens throughout the week. They contain additional questions and scripture.
Why written curriculum instead of vidoes? TastyFaith believes that your youth program provides a great opportunity to help improve reading and writing skills with urban youth. Don't kid yourself. Their schools are crumbling as well as their homes. While it is easy to always plug in a video, using workbooks and print media can help improve their reading comprehension.
