Background Information:
Project GRAD Kenai Peninsula (PGKP) is a comprehensive educational support non-profit that has worked in partnership with the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District (KPBSD) since 2003 to enhance educational experiences for students in some of the most remote and isolated communities on the Peninsula. This partnership focuses on improving graduation rates, reducing the dropout rate, increasing academic achievement and postsecondary awareness and readiness, building leadership skills, and supporting youth development through positive and productive adult/youth connection. These outcomes are supported through a mix of professional development for staff and hands-on support working directly with students.
Today's work session will provide an overview of PGKP activities, outcomes, and recently received grants that support the PGKP areas of focus.
