Program Completion Goals
Each LA program has goals for each youth participant to complete that the team has discerned as being the minimum goals for being considered to have completed the program successfully. We acknowledge that the lives of youth are very busy today, so there is some flexibility at the discretion of the team. Youth are able to put this program on their resume and ask any of their program leaders or staff for a reference for a college or job application.
