Safenet

For many children, the transition into middle school is difficult, and some lack the skills they need to be successful in school. SafeNet aims to identify those children, providing them with individualized academic and social support to help them stay on track. SafeNet services are made available in conjunction with local school districts. The program pairs struggling middle school students with an adult advocate who helps them set goals, improve organizational skills and learn problem-solving techniques to achieve their best potential. Some students require academic help, while others benefit from being connected with activities that increase their engagement with school. SafeNet Advocates coach students in the classroom and afterschool to develop key social and study skills in five focus areas:

SafeNet is offered as a free service to students and families. For those families who may benefit from additional support, SafeNet Advocates provide referrals to supportive community services. SafeNet is successful. Many of our SafeNet students have stabilized or increased their grade point averages. Most of the students appreciated having another caring adult to talk to.
