All learners will graduate with awareness of and preparedness for the endless possibilities of their future while meeting rigorous and attainable graduation requirements.

Focus:

Empower Generations is a free public charter that supports pregnant and parenting teens, and other at risk youth to meet their individual goals through a whole person, whole family approach. Empower Generations provides pregnant and parenting teens a safe and nonjudgmental environment to explore and gain confidence in the unique challenge of young parenthood. We welcome pregnant and parenting high school learners (male and female) and their young children onto campus 2-3 days a week for group and individual advisory, collaboration opportunities, and one-on-one support. With clear and personalized guidance, learners determine their course of study and method of obtaining graduation requirements, including internship, online courses, independent study, and one-on-one support. Learners realize their potential as confident parents, engaged learners, and active community members while working toward a high school diploma and gaining invaluable real-life experience.
