Activity 2

Intervention program- college connections the program provides disconnected youth, aged 14 to 27, with intentional interventions to prepare them for college, by getting them back on track to success and deterring them from high risk behaviors, engaging criminal activity, and dependency on social services. The program serves students through four focused tracks: alternative education for middle school students who are over-age for their grade, failing courses and unlikely to advance to high school; mentoring support for traditional high school youth who are still enrolled in school but are at risk of dropping out; instruction and support for students who have dropped out or have been pushed out of high school and need to attain their ged; and esol classes to help students who face significant barriers to educational success due to being english language learners. The two key college connections program components are academic skill building and social-emotional support. For students currently in school, the program engages with each participant for five to seven hours per week. Students who are out of school are engaged for a minimum of 25 hours per week.

Activity 3

Alternative education programthe alternative middle school provides 15 middle school students who have academic and truancy issues in a boston public school the opportunity to enroll in a smaller classroom setting with one-on-one teacher assistance. Students at the alternative middle school are dual-enrolled at boston public schools throughout the city, but attend all their classes at little house. The alternative middle school offers a supportive, safe atmosphere where classroom instruction is individualized. The classroom curriculum incorporates interdisciplinary, thematic units of study. In 2013, all of the middle school students successfully transitioned into high schools and the students are still in touch with our program staff for support.
