Surrounding students with support
Studies show that what works with at-risk youth is positive adult involvement. The AimTruancy program connects each student with a caring, non-threatening adult. This trained, experienced coach not only builds the student’s self-confidence, but also coordinates a network of vital resources that at-risk students need. It takes a community to educate a child. Our program fosters communication and collaboration between teachers, parents, schools, and social services so that interventions are coordinated, multi-pronged, and effective. With support from every corner, students learn how to succeed in school. And in life.
From monitor to motivation
In the initial phase of the AimTruancy program, students carry a hand-held GPS device to help them develop a structured routine and experience consistent accountability. But as they quickly discover that changed behavior brings rewards, students become self-driven. This system of positive reinforcement combined with the encouragement and support of key adults keep the student motivated to excel even beyond the program. Positive behaviors become ingrained. Students’ lives are changed. And the results impact families, schools, and communities. For good.
