In conjunction with the Monterey County Department of Social and Employment Services we work to place welfare recipients in volunteer opportunities in order for them to gain work experience and develop skills to assist them in attaining employment.

 

This program places expelled students in meaningful volunteer opportunities in order to complete required community service hours for re-admittance into school.  Our philosophy is that any youth can be transformed through service activities and positive interactions with caring adults in the community.  Students participate in weekly “Reflections” sessions which provide skill-building exercises and allow for personal reflection on their experience.
