PROJECT EXTREME HAS FOUR CORE PRINCIPALS. STRENGTHS- BASED PERSPECTIVE, SKILLS BUILDING, INDIVIDUALIZED CARE, AND LONG-TERM FOLLOW UP. A STRENGTHS-BASED PERSPECTIVE IS ESSENTIAL IN WORKING AND CONNECTING WITH TEENS. RESEARCH HAS SUPPORTED THE IDEA THAT RECOGNIZING A TEEN'S STRENGTH CONTRIBUTES TO BUILDING THEIR SELF-ESTEEM, RESULTING IN A DEFINED SELF WORTH. THROUGH POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT, SUCH AS CONGRATULATING A TEEN AFTER COMPLETING A DIFFICULT OUTDOOR TASK OR RECOGNIZING ACTS OF KINDNESS, THE BUILDING BLOCKS ARE LAID TO CREATING A TRUSTING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE TEEN. SKILLS BUILDING, CONTRIBUTES GREATLY TO A TEEN'S ABILITY TO LEARN HOW TO COPE, COMMUNICATE AND FUNCTION IN THEIR EVERYDAY LIFE WITH PEERS AND FAMILY.

HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO REACH OUT TO A MENTOR, WITH WHOM THE TEEN HAS FORMED A CLOSE AND TRUSTING RELATIONSHIP, CAN BE THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT TOOL IN PREVENTING THE TEEN FROM MAKING INAPPROPRIATE AND AT TIMES RISKY DECISIONS. REAL, MEANINGFUL AND LONG TERM FOLLOW UP AND IS REFLECTED BY THE REQUIREMENT THAT STAFF SIGN A SOCIAL CONTRACT TO MAINTAIN CONTACT WITH TEENS THROUGHOUT ADOLESCENCE AND INTO ADULTHOOD.
