“Program Service Accomplishments Continued:”

“Inside out - Continued: character into a more positive, self-aware individual. From tending a garden that will help feed our community to providing firewood for those who are unable to do it themselves participation in the Inside-Out Program will not only help you become a better person, but will change the lives of those who are less fortunate. The Inside-Out Program leaves students with the skills to better understand themselves, their family, and their community. Students learn how to set and achieve personal goals. They identify positive and negative influences in their life and how they affect decision making. Through our partnership with the school of alternatives in Jackson County Students are able to earn back their suspension days and not have them be unexcused absences. Hights served 30 kids with our inside out program during the 2017 calendar year in Jackson County.”

“Compass - Compass is a four-month community based program for students who need a little extra guidance in their direction and decision making. It is designed to help students and their families identify changes they need to make, and help make a simple plan to apply those changes. The Compass Program partners with Western Carolina University to provide weekly adventure based activities led by recreation therapy students to challenge participants and learn new skills. Compass participants have a monthly big adventure that includes hiking, zip lining, whitewater rafting, caving or lake kayaking. The Compass Program leaves students with the skills to better understand themselves, their family, and their community. Students learn how to set and achieve personal goals. They identify positive and negative influences in their life and how they affect decision making. The Compass Program served 38 students from Haywood and Jackson Counties in the 2018 calendar year.”
