In It to Win It
The 7 Habits Way
In It to Win It is a collaborative partnership between two of Southwestern Indiana’s leading youth-serving organizations: Youth First, Inc. and the YMCA of Southwestern Indiana, Inc. The program is based on the book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey and targeted toward 7th and 8th grade youth. Throughout the program, participants read the book and engage in activities that reinforce the 7 Habits. Objectives include improving self-confidence, self-control, personal responsibility, time management, positive decision-making, and peer resistance skills.
