Provide otherwise unattainable access to guided/ individualized development and contribute to a more comprehensive education, including: academic tutoring, work experience, creative and community service opportunities. The youth served by CAEP are overwhelmingly at a socio- economic disadvantage and have limited to these necessary steps in an upwardly mobile high school career. The participation and achievement of specific goals for each student- number of job applications sent, GPA, admissions test scoring, community service hours, etc- are tracked year- round and serve as the program’s main metric success.
