Did you know that close to 3,000 Orange County high school students don’t graduate each year?

On average, high school graduates earn more per week than dropouts—and provide a public benefit of over $200K in lower government spending and higher tax revenues.

Our goal is to increase the high school graduation rate to 95% among students from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds and ensure graduating students are ready for college, career, and life.

Aaron participated in our E-Mentorship program, and shares this about his time in the program:

“The mentorship I got from this program gave me the ability to have common sense when in situations that require educated skills. If I can keep on concentrating on my work and learning from the mentorship, then I will be headed on the right path to success.”
