We've created an incentive program and have mentors ready to do outreach, tutors willing to help support, and guest speakers ready to share.
We are also investing in a leadership curriculum (https://awsleaders.org/awsl-social-emotional-learning-series) from AWSL (Association of Washington Student Leaders) based on a generous grant from our very own EAC program. Thank you!!!
We've built it and are ready for students to come join the fun.
