“Partnership with the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools Dropout Prevention Program has directly benefited the dropout rate in Forsyth County and created a system of contacting youth quickly to encourage them to return to an educational setting. The program is also partnering with the Wake Forest Champs Lifeskills Program to expose youth to the idea of life long learning utilizing the Universities and Community Colleges in our local area.”
