How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Research-Supported Youth Development Model
    methodology: research-supported-youth-development
    By integrating job preparation, work experience, academic support, and social services, we increase high school graduation rates among at-risk youth, because research-backed practices holistically address the barriers they face.
  • Specialized Education for Emotional and Behavioral Needs
    methodology: specialized-education-for-emotional-behavioral-needs
    By providing tailored education in diverse school settings, we improve outcomes for youth with serious emotional and behavioral challenges, because standard school systems are not equipped to address their needs and our model bridges the gap toward successful adulthood.
