Word for the Nation Nonprofit, Inc hasn't added a story.
Statistics show that 49% of Clayton County students ultimately drop out of school. Evidence suggests that students who drop out of school engage in illegal activities, become teen parents, or suffer from other consequences such as unemployment and poverty. According to the National Education Association, high school dropouts are 72% more likely to be unemployed compared to high school graduates. One out of ten high school dropouts end up in jail or prison.
Word for the Nation Nonprofit, Inc. was organized in 2009 in an effort to provide educational services and support to at-risk youth. We provide entrepreneurship, life skills and leadership training, abstinence-only education, and academic tutoring to adolescents and young adults aged 10 - 19.
