ReRoute Program
ReRoute’s mission is to help our Latinx youth who are between the ages of 11-17 and who are starting to show academic and behavioral issues. We help them navigate through their challenges. Some examples are:
ACADEMIC:
- Underachievement
- Failing grades
- Missing Assignments
- Attendance
- Suspension or expelled
BEHAVIOUR:
- Signs of gang affiliation
- Alcohol/drug use
- Behavioral problems
- Criminal justice involvement
- Family Conflict
- Lack of Personal/Social
How Reroute Works:
- We enroll up to 20 youth into each cohort group
- Cohorts last six months
- In those six months, case management is offered to each youth and their family
- Cohort activities include in-person group lessons on Saturdays from 12-2pm.
- ReRoute staff advocate for youth at their schools to improve grades and attendance.
ReRoute provides leadership opportunities for youth who graduate from Re-route. They may become mentors to youth who will be enrolled in the next cohort. Stipend will be provided to youth leaders.
