  • GA Youth Challenge

    GA Youth Challenge

    The GA Youth Challenge Program is a free 22 week residential program for both males and females ages 16 through 18. Our program focuses on education, physical fitness, life skills, direction and motivation to help our students achieve their future goals in life. Students can come to our program and go to school without distractions such as cell phones, laptops, tablets and opposite gender. Males and females are in different classes and they are only allowed to work on the laptops in the classroom.
    Most of our students in the HS program or HS Credit Recovery program usually earn 6-8 credits in 5 months instead of 10 allowing them to either graduate or get back on track with their peers or even ahead of them if they apply themselves in a disciplined/structured environment that takes away distractions so that they can actually focus on their education.
    We also offer a GED program for those students who are severely behind and may age out prior to being able to obtain a diploma
