HiTOPS is a twenty-year-old 501(c)3 non-profit organization, located in Mercer County, New Jersey whose mission is to promote adolescent health and well-being. HiTOPS helps adolescents clarify their values and make responsible decisions regarding their health and actions, and gives parents, teachers and caregivers of adolescents the tools they need to best support and guide the young people they nurture.
Description:
HiTOPS' vision and mission are realized in four ways:
- By delivering innovative, comprehensive expert-and peer-led educational programs in schools (both traditional and alternative), communities of faith, juvenile justice facilities, and comunity forums throughout the state for youth, parents, educators and other health professionals;
- By providing wellness and prevention healthcare services to thousands of youth in the only health center in New Jersey focused exclusively on adolescents;
- By providing emotional and psychological support services to fragile adolescent populations, including survivors of sexual assault and gay and lesbian youth; and,
- By providing training, consultation, and educational products to local, regional, state, and national organizations serving the holistic health needs of adolescents.
