“Youth enrollment & participation: served 308 middle and high school youth in harrisonburg city during the 2018-2019 program year across three program sites (skyline middle, thomas harrison middle and harrisonburg high). We successfully launched a new program site at thomas harrison middle school, continued to expand our high school program to 10th graders and added summer programming. More than eighty percent (80%) of participants were from low-income families, demonstrating a need for otrc's program services to help close the educational gaps they experience during the out-of-school hours. We have now served 522 total youth since launching our first program in september 2015. Enrolled youth maintain an 80% daily average attendance rate. On average, a middle school youth participant gains 200 extra hours of learning time during the year, about a 15% increase than underserved youth who do not participate. Otrc youth receive academic support, leadership and workforce skill development, college and career enrichment and are connected to a network of caring adults who serve as youth leaders, community teachers, academic coaches and more.”

“Career enrichment & community partnerships: two-hundred and forty-two (242) volunteers contributed 2,549 hours of service during the 2018-2019 program year. Volunteers served in a range of roles, including as community/career teachers, academic coaches, interns and more. We offered 44 different 10-week long career enrichment classes led by local professionals. Some of the career enrichment classes offered were: healthcare, floristry, law, engineering, photography, interior design, anatomy, veterinary, emerging chefs, music, banking, fishing/outdoor adventure, police academy, hotel management and coding. Our career enrichment classes provide youth in-depth, hands-on learning experiences about careers, helping them to explore career pathways, build important workforce skills, and prepare for their future. Youth have argued mock trials, led a veterinarian clinic, hosted a real estate open house and led pop-up dinners as culminating learning showcase events, just to name a few.”
