Annandale Targeted Youth Initiative

Girls painting

Students who need a little extra help to avoid making poor choices find it at Alternative House’s Annandale Targeted Youth Initiative. The program is a pilot project to help 9th and 10th graders who are in danger of failing at school.

The program works with not just the students but also with their families to create an environment where the young person can succeed.

The Initiative also provides after-school workshops twice each week where an average of 30 students gather at Annandale High School.

For a schedule of events, see the Annandale Neighborhood Center Event Calendar.
