About AMERICAN YOUTHWORKS CHARTER SCHOOL

Description provided by the district or community — not part of the NCES dataset.

American Youthworks (AYW) is an education and green jobs training organization, located in Austin, TX, that has served the Central Texas Community since 1981. We offer programs for all young people, ages 16 to 28 who want to change their lives through education, workforce training and service to their country. Mission: American YouthWorks is dedicated to empowering at-risk youth through education, service and green jobs training. American YouthWorks Charter High School operates a Service Learning Academy. Service Learning is a teaching and learning strategy though which students participate in meaningful community service projects. In the Service Learning Academy (SLA), students attend core academic self-paced classes AND participate in one of our Corps Programs. Through these Corps programs students get job skills that help position them for a career, earn community service hours, and begin developing professional networks with community partners. SLA students also have access to personal, academic, and career counseling. Students learn how to build portfolios, write resumes, apply for college and financial aid, and work with internship coordinators to land internships in their career field.
