OUR APPROACH >

Needs-Based

We take an in-depth and holistic look at the needs of each individual student. We collaborate with them to help identify the concerns, priorities, and goals they have, and develop a tailored plan to coordinate appropriate support and resources.

Long Term

Our commitment and support for our students doesn’t end when they go off to college. We’re committed to helping them transition into adulthood by continuing our work with them for years after they graduate high school — even into their early careers.

Evidence Informed

Our program framework and methodology are informed by research and evidence. Our programs have been designed to help lead students towards positive life outcomes based on an alchemy of research evidence, lived experience, youth voices, and our team’s expertise.
