Education

We work with schools in our region, supporting and complementing their services. In addition, our Alternative High School, P.E.C.E.S., provides educational services to students who haven't found the tools they need to thrive within the traditional education system. Our educational model combines innovative classroom environments, boarding experiences, and opportunities for emotional development for a more comprehensive educational experience.

Prevention and Community Resilience

We believe that providing care and support to children and their families helps build strong relationships and successful individuals. Our prevention services include in-school tutoring, evidence-based programs (such as the Adult Identity Mentoring (AIM) program), extracurricular programs with academic, cultural, and athletic activities, youth leadership programs, counseling and social work services for children and adults, and parenting workshops for adults who need to improve their parenting skills (parents or grandparents), among other services.
