We’re so excited about our amazing, 2014 graduating class and wanted to share our milestone with you.
Many students in our Service Learning Academy say that they would have dropped out without the school.
These students came from difficult, non-traditional backgrounds and overcame significant challenges to walk across the stage.
- 101 graduates!
- 25% of students in the class are parents.
- Over 90% of these students were at-risk of dropping out of high school (or had already dropped out).
- Only 5% were on track to graduate when they enrolled with us.
They’ve beaten the statistics. Not only have they finished high school, but they’re graduating ready to continue their success in college or careers.
By participating in our jobs training programs, these graduates have learned skills that prepare them to get meaningful, stable jobs in a broad array of fields. Additionally, many have been placed into paid internships where they are gaining work experience. They earned over $30,000 in scholarships to further their education in college or trade school. And each graduate has completed service projects that benefit our community!
It’s an honor to be a part of such an important mission to build brighter futures and better communities through job skills training, education, and service opportunities.
