Class 62: 64 Days and a Wake up until Graduation of the Residential Phase. Cadets will then be transitioning to the Post Resdiential Phase:
POST-RESIDENTIAL PHASE
The 12-month Post-Residential Phase begins when graduates leave the Challenge Academy and return to their communities. Graduates return to high school, pursue higher education, find a job, join the military, or volunteer at least 25 hours a week as a “placement”. The goal of this Phase is for graduates to sustain and build on the gains made during the Residential Phase, and to apply the new skills they have learned to their home environment. In addition, they must continue to develop and implement their life plans. The mentors, matched with cadets during the Residential Phase, play a critical role in ensuring their continued success. They help youth transition from the structured environment of the Residential Phase to self-management. The mentors also support and guide the cadets through implementation of their Life Plans.
Next Home Pass Cadets must secure their placement. In the next couple of weeks, myself and Ms. Lewis will be assisting the Cadets with that.
Placement Options:
-Credit Recovery must enroll back to school
-FT/PT job total of 25hrs or more in a week
-Volunteer/Internship 25hrs or more in a week
-College (full time student)
-GED Program
-Trade/Job Corp
