CONTINUUM OF SERVICES

A caring continuum of social-emotional and academic support.

For a struggling student, problems tend to have a domino effect. We focus on removing barriers that interfere with a student's ability to find success. Through positive relationship building, mentoring, goal setting, and family engagement, West40 Advocacy Programs effectively address barriers by turning them into opportunities for growth; fostering skillsets that afford every student the opportunity to thrive.
