A candid conversation about why teens drop out of school, and what can be done to help.
1 out of every 3 ninth graders in New Mexico drops out before graduation. Why? Much is being said about the dropout crisis in our state. Yet, rarely do we hear from the teens that are facing enormous challenges to stay in school. In this program we have a heart-to-heart conversation about why they decide to leave high school without graduating and what we can do to help more of them get a diploma.
