This acclaimed approach already implemented with over 40,000 students in the Los Angeles Unified School District and seven other states, helps students of all abilities to become academically and civically engaged and increases their literacy competencies.

• Meeting Challenges
• Growing Community
*New components have added leadership and career exploration plus higher order skills that improve research and writing.

This program has been used as part of a district approach to replace dropping out of school with active engagement and commitment to graduation.
