Project Description
The Northwest Leadership Foundation through it's TEACH Tacoma initiative has five partners to support three sites that will work together to address the needs of Tacoma youth.  TEACH Tacoma is a strategic arm for groups interested in developing a K-12 continuum to the issues surrounding academic need, expulsions, long-term suspension and truancy. 

Fifteen AmeriCorps will be equally divided between the three sites.  A partnership of Northwest Leadership Foundation, World Vision, and Sound Youth Health counseling (formerly known as Hilltop Health Ministries) was created to respond to the needs of expelled/long-term suspended and truant young people is called ProTeen SET,  a blend of social care, mental health counseling, academic encouragement, community engagement, community significance and congruent  understanding of one's belief system. The other two partners are Peace Community Center and Trinity Presbyterian Church which provides Hilltop scholars, Hilltop Learning Center and 7th Street Learning Center with individualized academic assistance, enrichment and mentoring to students. There is also in-school and after-school tutoring and mentoring to elementary and high school students of the community.
