Sorry, no fundraising available

Project Extreme was founded in 2001 to help teens-at-risk reconnect with themselves, their families and their communities. Thousands of  teens have been helped by Project Extreme’s broad portfolio of both short and long term programs designed to assist teens in need and their families to overcome their many challenges by providing them with life skills training, social support networks and professional counseling in a positive, healthy environment that is fun, exciting, secure and highly productive.

Our specialized programs include:
  • The Minnesota Girls Academy: The first Jewish Kosher, residential, therapeutic high school for girls ages 13-17 can overcome their emotional or behavioral struggles and develop healthy familial relationships in a warm, nonjudgmental and accepting emvironment. At MGA we focus on Mind, Body, and Spirit. MGA is for girls experiencing psychological, social, familial, cultural or educational trials.
  • Camp Extreme for Boys/Camp Extreme for Girls: Provides a constructive outdoor, adventure summer experience that gives struggling teens new skills and the ability to focus more positively on their lives
  • Helpline: From confused parents to troubled teenagers, the professionals manning the Helpline offer callers practical advice, valuable resources and everlasting hope. The information is priceless - and the cost is only one phone call. 
  • Holiday Retreats: Diffuses the family stress often associated with the holidays, and places the teens in a warm and nurturing environment.
  • Life Mentor Program: By pairing teens with experienced mentors, Project Extreme ensures that the progress made durring one of our programs will not fade or diminish.
  • Nights on the Town: Safe and fun-filled experience for teens within their own communities while stressing appropriate decision-making skills.
  • Weekend Retreats: Integrates new teens to our programs; allows follow-up with those who have already participated in our programs; provides an opportunity to address behavioral deterioration on a monthly basis.
