The program is designed to provide strong mentors for students who are showing early signs of dropping out of school. All students in our program are truant and disengaged from school. Our goal is to work with both students and their families by building authentic relationships and by helping them reconnect with their school.

Students who are exhibiting early signs of chronic truancy need individualized early interventions that emphasize the importance of attending school.
