FANS
Furthering Achievement through a Network of Support, FANS prepares youth in 8th through 12th grade for college.
With the guidance of staff mentors, teenagers work toward goals like delaying parenthood, resisting drugs, contributing to the community and going to college. Through twice weekly afterschool participation, teenagers are also given opportunities to find scholarships, prepare for the ACT/SAT tests and look at career opportunities that line up with college programs.
