Back in October of 2014, DCAYA was thrilled to support the
creation of the District’s first DC Youth ReEngagement
Center, an initiative of the Office of the State Superintendent of
Education (OSSE), which provides educationally
disengaged youth a one-stop location for the assessment of education status,
referral to one or more school completion options, and support to re-enroll and
stay enrolled. Since its opening two years ago, the REC has enrolled over 400
youth in educational placements and has supported 30 students through the
attainment of a high school diploma. Now,
the REC is seeking to scale the success of their brick-and-mortar center with
the launch of BackOnTrackDC.org.
