Early Prevention
Long before high school, early prevention efforts can help keep kids on track to graduation.
This slide deck is a field scan of what selected school districts, foundations and nonprofit organizations are doing to prepare at-risk youth for further education, careers and life. Key findings show the importance of encouraging and supportive adults in youth's lives, and providing them places to go that are safe, nurturing and relevant to their own hopes for the future.
Long before high school, early prevention efforts can help keep kids on track to graduation.
Intervention can take many forms across systems and subsections of youth.
No single program can meet the needs of all youth at risk of disconnecting.
When a young person gets sidetracked, recovery systems can support re-entry into educational and career-development pathways.
Youth in transition – between middle school and high school, after graduation, or leaving public systems like foster care – are vulnerable. For these youth, case workers can provide centralized support services and bring together the many resources available in a community.
We hope you'll find value in this report. We’d love to get a little information from you, which we'll use to notify you about relevant new resources.
