We are partnering with local schools, county judges and mayors, adult education, WAGE and  literacy councils, employers and volunteer mentors to customize  services for each individual. 

     We stress service learning,  whereby youth develop skills through active participation in thoughtfully organized community improvement projects that provide a structure for personal, social, and intellectual growth, as well as civic responsibility.

     Participants will develop a portfolio to document the various stages of their achievement.  Students are assessed on demonstrated skills.

Text Box: Today’s workplace demands workers who have critical thinking skills, the ability to work as a team member, and a commitment to continuous learning.  All young people need to have a strong basic academic background and excellent workplace skills whether they are pursuing a post-secondary credential, technical training, or a skilled entry-level position on a career path.  High school graduation is critical to pursuit of both post-secondary education and good jobs.
