Second Nature Wilderness Program Provides 75% Tuition Scholarships for STICC Teens
Special thanks to Second Nature Wilderness Program for their generous support of our teens:
“Second Nature is proud to offer a 75% scholarship to children that have been approved and funded by Savings Teens for a long-term recovery program. We do so because we value the Saving Teens methodology. This begins with their comprehensive evaluation, which insures that the kids we are providing scholarships for are a good fit for our program. Once they have completed their wilderness component, Saving Teens funds a longer-term therapeutic environment, like a therapeutic boarding school. We think that this commitment to aftercare for our clients gives them a much greater likelihood of eventual success. Saving Teens also recognizes the important role the family plays, and provides funding and emotional support for the parents during the process so they can attend workshops and have someone to talk to. We feel this is another essential component for success. Finally, Saving Teens requires that the parents contribute to the process financially, according to their need, and that they commit for the long-term program of 18-24 months, to strongly discourage their removing their children.
“Overall we feel that Saving Teens has created an excellent model for recovery based on real world experience. This gives us great confidence that the large financial commitment we are making will be rewarded with troubled teens transformed into functional, happy young adults. We hope that we can be an example for other programs and schools by fully participating in this very important initiative.”

STICC Founder, John Reuben runs NYC & Boston Marathons & Raises over $10,000
STICC celebrates with a Boston Marathon Party!
John Reuben took on Heartbreak Hill and run the Boston Marathon in honor of Saving Teens In Crisis Collaborative.
STICC supporters and their friends came out in force to cheer John on during the race and to rejoice in both the triumph over 26.3 miles of New England real estate, and the simple pleasure of giving back to those less fortunate.
Everyone gathered afterwards at the Westin in Copley Square near the finish line for a Marathon Day Party to celebrate with delicious food, drinks, the beautiful and unique jewelry of One Pearl, and of course, many terrific people.
Many thanks to the Boston Westin Copley Hotel for their generous donation of rooms and services that made this event possible!
Just 5 months earlier, John ran the November 2005 NY Marathon, though he had only been running for a year or so, and had never run a marathon before. He decided to run that marathon out of a deep-seated passion for struggling teenagers, and the personal experience he has had raising his sons on his own for the last 5 years.
Both sons have had their struggles, and John has been lucky enough to be able to provide them with access to the programs that could help. Their success heightened his desire to assist less fortunate families, and so, in parallel with his own sons’ recovery and the formation of Saving Teens In Crisis Collaborative, John worked hard to fulfill his personal goal of running a full marathon.
Completing the marathon became a metaphor both for what John and his sons have achieved over the last few years, and for what STICC will do for other struggling teens and their families. Click here for photos!
