Nestled away in the far eastside of Long Beach is an educational center of hope.
At Rosie the Riveter Youth Program, “at-risk” youth are considered “at-promise”, and receive an accredited high school education and job training. Many of them have been incarcerated, kicked out of school, or are foster youth.
The school’s practices utilize transformative justice, mental health counseling, and boasts a 91 percent rate for student academic and job placement following graduation. In the video above, we speak to staff and a youth about what impact the school’s progressive operating philosophy has had on them.
