Fresh Start & Partners for Youth offer an opportunity for students to
have an alternative to a high school classroom setting to reconnect with
education in a meaningful, personal, and supportive manner.
Our goal is to offer high school courses and support services to help
students overcome obstacles and develop behaviors that will help them
become educationally and personally successful to achieve high school
completion.
Expectations
In outreach the student takes on more responsibility for setting
goals and completing work on their own. Students should be able to work
independently for the most part, with the teachers assisting the
students one-to-one or small groups.
Students are expected to contribute to the positive nature of the
program by acting in a mature manner. The atmosphere is suitable for
motivated, independent people who want to further themselves by taking
advantage of educational opportunities.
Due to the nature of the program, students with learning or
behavioral needs will be referred to a more appropriate setting.
At Fresh Start or Partners for Youth, students can complete high
school. Outreach programs can be transitional, providing the student
with the means to continue their education in a community high school.
