Eastside Youth Strong supports Eastside youth in their goals to graduate and be socially and emotionally strong. We offer programs that offer youth an opportunity to grow as individuals and be successful in their own unique way. We value our responsibility to hold youth accountable and encourage them to try new things.
EASEL stands for Eastside Arts and Science Experiential Learning. This high-quality program focuses on three concentration areas: Math, Science, and Art. A master science and math educator leads a carefully designed curriculum that encourages and inspires youth to be involved in science, math, and art. In addition, EASEL has two knowledgeable support staff so that participants receive one-on-one interaction as needed. EASEL students are able to do hands-on projects and go on some amazing, memorable trips.
EASEL selects potential candidates who want to improve their learning and confidence in the three concentration areas. Students who are selected must be able to commit to the entire summer program in order to maximize the learning opportunity.
