TEEN OUTREACH PROGRAM

The Teen Outreach Program (TOPs) produces a bilingual newspaper. TOPs is funded through a grant from the Department of Neighborhoods and is one of programs selected by the neighborhood Communities That Care planning and organizing team. Middle and high school students in TOPs attend classes, receive academic and test prep support, perform community service, write articles and help produce the newspaper. Upon graduation, students recede $150 to $300 stipends for their participation.

Partnership with Seattle Public Schools

Our computer lab partnership with Seattle Public Schools focuses on middle and high school academic improvement. Middle and high school students in South Park are benefiting from our partnership with Seattle Public School's TechNet Project. TechNet is an effort to increase communication and coordination between teachers and communities. You can learn more about our TechNet partnership at these two websites
