Middle school is a period of transition.
We want to help students stay on track.
Middle school is a complicated time for every student. As students grow and evolve, it is critical that they stay engaged and connected in school in order to stay on track to graduate high school on time. We believe all students deserve the opportunity to succeed in school. That is why we are committed to keeping students engaged through the middle school years.
Programs
It’s never too early to begin preparing young people with the skills needed to succeed in the workforce. We bring local volunteers into the picture to help students grow and sharpen these skills.

A Prepared & Empowered Future Workforce
The job market has gone through big changes in the last decade, and it can be difficult to secure a steady job with a sustainable income. We want to help equip young people in our communities with the skills needed to land such a job and lay a foundation for financial stability later in life.
