Technical Assistance Projects
AHSI Place-Based Partnerships (2008)
Striving to help cities reduce dropout rates and improve students' educational outcomes, the YEF Institute, along with its partners in the Alternative High School Initiative (AHSI) network, will work intensively with the cities of Indianapolis, Nashville, and Newark to establish new innovation-model alternative schools for students who struggle in traditional high school settings.
These cities will launch "place-based partnerships" with the AHSI network of youth development organizations to create new schools and overhaul existing schools to achieve a scale of options that ensures every young person is prepared for college and career success.
