Out of School Youth ProjectFor the past four years, Advocates for Children has been assisting high school aged youth and young adults who have been pushed out of school, counseled into GED programs when they are not ready, illegally suspended, denied access to special education services and warehoused in programs like suspension centers and alternative settings, where they don’t get a quality education. We have assisted individual students, provided workshops, disseminated guides, filed lawsuits, written policy reports and worked with local media. Through our work, we have identified large numbers of young people who do not have access to a quality high school education in NYC. We have also found that parents and students are often unaware of their rights in the school system. AFC is reaching out to leaders in communities with high numbers of out-of-school youth to explore whether we can develop a coalition or network of community based partners to address the lack of access to high school programs in NYC and to ensure that those youth who are out-of-school or at risk of being out-of-school have the opportunity to graduate and to be college-ready.
