The RTS program has now helped more than 30 students earn their diplomas since opening in September 2012. The program serves young adults, ages 16-21, who have dropped out of high school.
The main component of the program is to help participants with their academics, with the goal of earning a diploma so that they can go on to post-secondary education.
The program meets at the George Washington Carver Community Center, in Bunnell, and is provided year-round. The program is federally funded and is sponsored by the Center of Business Excellence, the Carver Foundation and the Flagler County School Board. All participants must meet federal eligibility requirements, and any student interested should contact Program Manager Brian Willard, at 437-8279, or email [email protected].
