Students build responsibility and confidence while gaining firsthand exposure to fields such as the professions, arts, commerce, or public service.

Participants follow a split schedule, spending part of the day in academic classes and part at a community learning site, with the time in each setting tailored to individual needs. Students and families are responsible for arranging coordination and transportation.
