Elevated Education For Teens | December 01, 2022
Elevated Education announces four unique partnerships established as part of the on-going effort to restore hope among the state's most academically vulnerable and disengaged youth. Effective immediately, young people ages 13 to 21, who need extra guidance in their educational journey, can seek out the Teen Victory Program at: Yavapai Accommodation School District, Paradise Valley Unified School District, ASU Prep South Phoenix and Tempe Union. The program's breadth and reach is made possible thanks to funding from the Arizona Governor's Office. The Teen Victory Program is a one-to-one, customized support system for students that need extra attention and inspiration.
"Thanks to a targeted investment by Governor Ducey, our innovative Teen Victory Program provides a positive alternative to teens and young adults seeking to reengage in their academic success, As a leader in academic reengagement, we are humbled by the support of our partners and are committed to locating, mentoring and providing a pathway to educational success for disengaged youth."
James Meehan, CEO of Elevated Education.
The Program takes a 'whole-student' approach to reengagement including:
Analysis of participant's education history
Academic mentoring/coaching
Develop individualized learning plan
School reengagement
Student Victory Team meetings (students, parents/guardians, school counselors, elevated mentor)
Ongoing mentoring throughout the school year
There is nothing more meaningful than helping young people rediscover joy in learning and imagining a future where they are the best version of themselves, said Meehan.
