We’re increasing Berkshire graduation rates.
Based on data surveys and research, we know that alcohol and drug use, along with teen pregnancy, increases the likelihood failing to complete high school dropout – derailing future career or college plans. Your support allows us to promote healthier decisions with investments in after-school, college and career work-readiness, and mentoring programs. When youth succeed, our whole community rises.
