TEACH TEC
Youth Academy, Stay Out the Streets (SOS) program is
an out-of-the box life skills school-based 24 hour seven
days a week mentoring program whose mission is to assist
at-risk students to ensure graduation from High School and
avoid the juvenile criminal system.
SOS works with the Public School
System and community based organizations to provide
professional mentors who make a 24 month commitment to the
youth enrolled in our mentoring program. SOS works
with a TEAM concept of mentoring. A student is assigned a
TEAM of individuals.
We believe due to the number of
issues in the lives of at-risk African American males, time
needed to ensure success requires we stay engaged 24 hours,
seven days a week.
