A New Dawn: Program for High School Drop Outs
Final Project: A New Dawn
Summary A New Dawn is a program which will help students who have dropped out of high school become members of society who will be more successful. It is our hope that with the implementation of this program that more students will be able to return to school to finish their education and learn vocational skills which will allow them to earn more, help provide for their families, and build better self-esteem. Participation should reduce the number of youth who are lured away by low-paying, entry-level jobs and by other social entities that can defeat the positive attributes of their lives (i.e. gang activity, drugs, alcoholism, etc.). With this program outline, it should be evident that we can work with the budget allotted and still provide the essential services to our target population; the young people of the community who need to be able to return to school. A new day is dawning; how will you make it a successful one?
A New Dawn is a non-profit organization which specializes in high-quality educational, vocational, and training services to many sections of the local population. They have been involved in the community for many years (undefined in the scenario) and have decided to face a new and dangerous challenge; the increased dropout rates of high school age teenagers in the area. With increasing economic strains because of job loss, relocation of companies to other cities, and budgetary losses due to lower property tax revenues, the students in the area are being forced to look for work to help support their families. It has been an ongoing challenge for local schools to retain and recruit qualified teachers that can hold the interest of these students. Unfortunately, this means that education comes second in their lives and they lose the motivation to continue to improve themselves. Our agency proposes a new and innovative approach to allow them to
