Phoenix’s model provides high-risk youth with a second chance for a high school diploma and college success.

As COVID-19’s impact becomes more pervasive, our school teams are working hard to connect students and families to essential services during our closure. There are many areas of need, but three have developed as a result of this pandemic:

  • Remote Learning: Many of our families lack access technology preventing critical learning at home.  We are working to ensure all students have access to a device and internet access.
  • Post-secondary Plans: We are working with our seniors as they engage remotely to fulfill graduation requirements and create post-secondary plans, many of which are up in the air as a result of an unpredictable Fall 2020 on college campuses.
  • Employment Support: At least half of our students work 20+ hours per week in addition to their academic course load.  Many have lost their jobs as a result of COVID-19 and are struggling to pay rent, car payments, and utility and cell phone bills.
  • Providing confidential assistance to our families in a variety of areas, including information related to immigration services and access to benefits like health insurance.

Your investment would give Phoenix the ability to support our young people in Chelsea, Lawrence, Springfield, and beyond as they work to adapt to a rapidly changing set of circumstances.  These are unprecedented times and we humbly seek your support.
