9th Grade Academy
Youth Speak Collective’s 9th grade academy is a summer program designed to facilitate the academic and social transition from middle school into high school.
“This program helped me in my school work with math and English and I had fun too.”
- Carlos R., 15 years old
Youth entering high school are exposed to a new environment where there are numerous guidelines and expectations that they need to meet in order to graduate from a California High School. The 9th grade academy assists students in building high school level math and English, communication and conflict resolution skills.
