| The Bright Futures Scholars Support Program in Detail |
- The Program extends itself to all targeted high achieving (3.0 GPA)
students, including low-income students completing high school
against insurmountable odds. The goal is to provide these young
people with the tools necessary to quest for success.
- A vital component in this program provides "group mentoring" as well
as "individual mentoring" from our communities finest. Committed
mentors include congressman, senators, assembly members,
mayors, county supervisors, physicians, clergy, corporate CEO's,
attorneys, scientists, engineers, artists, educators, law enforcement
officials, managers and administrators.
- Bright Futures Scholars participate as Junior Council Persons
(representing their mentors and schools all over the nation). Monthly
Scholars television tapings are aired on Public Access Television,
and can also be viewed online all around the world.
Without programs such as the ones offered in the Quality of Life Center, Inc., one out of
every three low-income minority students attending High School will drop out before
earning a diploma (2007 PUSD Statistics). Most will not be encouraged to return to school,
nor offered pre-training to become marketable in corporate America. Many students, even
young scholars coming from low-income families, will not have an opportunity to reach
their full potential and scores of juvenile first offenders will be placed in the justice system.
Much of our programming depends on community support. We are proud to say that our
programs are endorsed by community leaders who see the value in what is being
accomplished to direct positive changes in the future of our communities. The National
Education Association (NEA), as well as many surrounding school districts, will foster
pilot programs using Quality of Life Center, Inc. components in 2008.
At the Quality of Life Center, we have the opportunity to service families with many
different needs. We will strive not only to meet the needs, but to eliminate the problems
causing the need.
The Quality of Life Center remains optimistic and will continue to make every effort to
assist the youth, young adults and families in low-income, at-risk communities by
providing services that improve the quality of life for all.
