PROGRAM OVERVIEW

In School

How It Works

Our In-School Program begins with students as young as the second grade. Each student is matched with an In-School Service Coordinator who provides case management tracking academic achievement, attendance, social development, and a career path toward becoming a positive contributing citizen.

Our Approach

The key to turning around our educational system lies in one simple word, "resilience." Kids need a holistic approach. A relationship with at least one consistent pro-social adult is the single most important factor in helping a child through barriers to their success.

We also know that different situations call for different kinds of interactions. For that reason, our Relationship Model focuses on building expertise in the three different most influential in a child's life: The Mentor, The Teacher and The Parent.
