START EARLY. THRIVE EARLY.
We begin working with students as early as middle school because our data shows that this is a critical time in the lives of young people. Pivotal coaches stick by them through all the ups and downs, helping them plan for graduation, college, and beyond.
We get them through the tough years.
Foster youth deal with the same issues all teenagers have. But unsurprisingly, they often face additional challenges. The average foster youth moves two to three times in a single year. Staying on top of school work while adjusting to a new home, school, and foster family can be overwhelming. Our trauma-informed coaches take special care to consider these factors while keeping them focused on their future.
Our coaches meet with their youth at a location chosen by the students. They review school attendance, grades, and track graduation requirements. When a student needs academic intervention services like tutoring or disability resources, our coaches connect them to the right services.
