The “Ulan-Ude Teen Socio-Rehabilitation Center” History. The “Ulan-Ude Teen Socio-Rehabilitation Center”State Social Service Institution has been in existence for more than 13 years. The Center was created for the rehabilitation of teenagers left without parental support and who have found themselves in a complicated life situation. The medical, social, psychological, and pedagogical rehabilitation of more than 100 children and teenagers ranging in age from 3 to 18 occurs at the Center annually.

Since December 2006 the Center has been the republic’s experimental test bed for introduction of new forms

and methods for working with teens. The Center has worked closely with the social organizations in Ulan-Ude,

which have assisted in carrying out the rehabilitation process. One of the strongest partnerships is

cooperation with the Great Baykal Trail and with the Ulan-Ude Rotary Club. The following have been achieved

within the framework of this three-year partnership: two prolonged trips to Lake Baykal; hippotherapy lessons;

publicizing a healthy lifestyle; and successful establishment and organization of a tourist club attached to the

Center where new adherents familiarize themselves with the basics of tourism, study the unique Lake Baykal

flora and fauna, and acquire skills useful in their later lives.
