Purpose: The purpose of the Program is to provide students with support in the academics, as well as guide them through a process that will, hopefully, point out to them the connection between school and “real life”.

Overall, the Program is meant to provide students with the support  they need to experience success, stay in school and hopefully become more prepared for life after school.
