Youth Education
We help low-income youth build successful futures by offering essential academic and social support. We also work with parents, helping them understand how to be effective advocates for their children.
Youth tutoring and resource centers: Paving the way for academic success
At our youth tutoring and resource centers, young people are motivated and challenged to reach their potential as students, individuals and community members. The centers offer positive learning environments for youth aged 6 to 18, with a focus on improving academic performance.
Substance abuse prevention programs: Helping kids stay on the right track
Using the nationally-recognized Life Skills program, we teach middle school students in White Center and Auburn how to avoid the trap of alcohol and drug use. Our students work on improving their social skills, decision-making and assertiveness so that they can effectively combat peer pressure.
School and family partnerships: Strengthening bonds to promote education
Understanding that parents act as a child's first teacher, we organize family nights and community workshops at local schools. These events improve parents' ability to communicate with school personnel and track their children's progress. We work specifically with parents who are new to this country and have limited English-speaking ability.
Out of school youth program: A different path, but a strong future
Our counselors at West Auburn High School work with students who have left the traditional classroom, helping them set and achieve goals for graduation, career and beyond. Drawing on their skills and interests, we place them in internships and paying jobs.
CASASTART: Striving Together to Achieve Rewarding Tomorrows
School-based case managers work directly with youth in Seattle middle schools. A positive youth development framework helps keep high-risk nine- to 14-year-olds free of drug and criminal involvement. For more information on the program, click here.
