DID YOU KNOW?
- 12% of high school dropouts are unemployed
- High School dropouts are more than 8x as likely to commit crimes and serve prison time
- Only 1 in 10 youth from low-income families go on to graduate with a post-secondary degree
These statistics of youth in our community are alarming, and there are just a few listed compared to the dozens of other studies that depict how a lack of support available to at-risk youth often leads to a cycle of poverty, generation after generation.
Eckerd Connects Project Bridge is a program designed to provide wrap-around support to youth to increase pro-social influences, create opportunities for work readiness training, vocational certification, and job placement as well as academic advancement in high school and post-secondary education.
