Mission

To empower society's most vulnerable youth to develop positive self-sustaining lives by igniting their passion through engaged education, and to serve as a model for systemic change and social justice in education.
Our C/HOPE program for incarcerated youth has successfully redirected many of our students into independent schools, colleges, and/or the mainstream workforce and has the recidivism rate.
Our C/FORWARD program supports foster youth to complete high school and higher education.
Since 1995, the Coalition has helped thousands of youth transition into stable, fulfilling lives.
