We build students’ durable workforce skills (communication, problem-solving, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity), through industry and community partnerships for all students. We provide career connected learning opportunities across the K-12 educational spectrum to prepare students to pursue a future that embraces their strengths, passions, and dreams.
The life of a student does not end when the bell rings at the end of the day. WABS recognizes that after school, off-campus, and summer learning programs can provide youth, especially those who are most in need of support, with a safe and supervised space, healthy snacks and meals, and an academically enriching, fun environment.
21st Century Community Learning Centers are federally funded after-school and summer academic enrichment programs for low-income youth not meeting academic standards.
STEM4Good engages elementary and middle school students in authentic problem-solving and hands-on STEM learning with industry volunteers.
Career Launch programs combine meaningful, high-quality, paid on-the-job experience with classroom learning, creating a pathway to careers that provide upward mobility and family-sustaining wages.
Career Tours offer high school students the chance to visit a workplace and see what a company does, hear from employees about their educational and professional pathways, and gain insight into what careers are possible.
