Programs
YoungProTech
Sessions of 24 week classroom and apprenticeship training for 16 to 24 year olds
There are 6.7 million youth 16-24 years old that are not in school or work nor college graduates and there is an opportunity to engage many of them. If these youth received the educational, job training, economic and social supports they needed, it would save taxpayers approximately
93 billion dollars. These young people want to gain educational credentials and job training, while simultaneously recognizing their need to earn a living to support themselves and, in many cases, their families.

Eight week intensive Business and Technology after school training initiative to enhance employment opportunities for potential high school dropouts
More than one million young people drop out of high school every year. The effort to keep these youth in school must also support those who have already left. We have one hope to turn America's dimmed light in the world around educationally and economically--our young people. They represent an opportunity for this nation to use the talents of potential leaders and productive workers at a time when America's skills gap is substantial.
Nature Retreat
Weekend Sessions for 9 to 15 year olds to inspire young people to understand and appreciate
the ecology
'Nature deficit disorder' is common among our young people. Our retreat gets them away from the video games temporarily and out to nature instead. Studies show that children and youth spend more than seven hours a day on the weekends in front of a screen, either a television or a computer.
