Main activities include Intensive case management and educational advocacy/support; Through delivery of the Choice Model in an in-school environment, The Choice Program provides a community-based intervention program in response to chronic absenteeism. It also provides an alternative to sending caregivers to court as a result of their child’s truancy. The model supports the positive development of youth through activities during and after school that build youth competence in multiple areas (e.g., educational, vocational, recreational, social), develops youth confidence and links youth to people and institutions in their community.
