The goal of the Educate Youth Program is simple: Help teens graduate from High School with a 2-year plan for their future. We do this through a combination of mentorship, dialogue, and engagement activities. With the generous help of our donors we are able to provide hot meals, coats, backpacks and school supplies. We provide wrap-around education and we are able to meet teens where they are. The Clubhouse is a safe place for students to become lifelong learners.
Our students choose to be here every day. First we challenge and strengthen the academic and social skills of 8-10th graders. Once our participants enter the 11th grade, we hire them as mentors to younger teens. This gives them real world job experience and skills that are competitive for resume building. The Educate Youth program has shown remarkable results. We have a 100% graduation rate for students who finish their senior year with us. All of our former participants are currently in college or are working in a skilled trade.
