choices & chances series
CHOICES & CHANCES SERIES
The “Choices and Chances” series is designed to help students who have the highest risk factors within any educational institution, and community-based organization. These students have made choices that have jeopardized their freedom, led to poor academic performance, and as a result have become disconnected from school and the community they live in. This series focuses on the social and emotional aspects of the youth while establishing clear goals to increase their academic success, their confidence in their own leadership potential, and their own growth mindset.
