Renew

A Career and Education project designed to assist youth and young adults who have serious emotional or behavioral challenges to finish high-school, obtain jobs and enter adulthood in a positive manner. RENEW'S funding consists of individual and cluster grants, and contracts with area school districts, NH Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, the Mental Health Centers, NH Dept. of Youth Services, NH Dept. of Children, Youth and Families and private donations.

RENEW will address the gap in interagency collaboration by working with designated high schools to develop individualized teams using a strength-based, student centered model of service.
