Our Programs

Our mission is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.

 To accomplish this we provide a variety of programs and services to meet our students' needs. 

 

CIS Case Management

We use an evidence-based approach to meet our students' and communities' needs. On all of our partner campuses we place a highly trained social service professional to provide academic, behavioral, attendance, and social support. Every student that we serve through our core CIS program is assessed and has a personalized service plan created to meet their individual needs. Our CIS team then walks along side the students to ensure that they are empowered and on the path towards success.

Workforce Solutions-HOT Youth Services

Our Workforce Development program provides career coaching to youth ages 16-24, both in and out of school, to assist them in educational attainment and reaching their post secondary goals. We accomplish this through academic assistance, GED preparation, career exploration, assistance with entry into post-secondary education, and job placement opportunities.

Community Youth Development (CYD)

The CYD program provides juvenile delinquency prevention services to youth in the 76707 and 76705 zip code in Waco. Program services include youth leadership development, mentoring, academic support, and the Youth Advisory Committee.

Tutoring and Mentoring

We believe that all children need a one-on-one relationship with a caring adult. Mentoring and tutoring give the community a chance to get involved and invest in the lives of our youth.
