Strategies 2 Success Plus


What is the S2S+?

Strategies to Success Plus (also known as S2S+ or Teen Leadership Alumni) is a federally and county-funded follow-up program for high school students who completed the Strategies 2 Success middle school program, or participated in Summer Youth Employment.

In this next chapter, youth get to decide which projects will most benefit the youth in their communities by actively inhabiting community spaces and interacting with community members during their meeting times. The leaders also write a Youth As Resources (YAR) grant and carry out a service learning project. This program is a stipend position.
