We're excited to announce employment opportunities with our community partners!
Back on Track is a collaborative partnership of the 90% Graduation by 2020 initiative led by the Anchorage School District (ASD), United Way of Anchorage and Covenant House Alaska that allows high school students at risk of not graduating to recover credits needed to earn their high school diploma. But Back on Track doesn’t stop there. There are many ASD credit recovery options available to students; what makes Back on Track different is the combination of evening instruction and tutoring—which supports students’ day-school or work schedules—while also providing one-on-one support and access to non-academic services they may need. If a student needs help with housing, transportation, food, counseling, or anything else, Back on Track staff work to connect them with those services. Through community collaboration, Back on Track is working to provide the right student with the right support at the right time so they can focus on school, learning, and earning their diploma.
Back on Track was launched through funding from the AT&T Aspire Grant in 2016. AT&T continues to be the primary funder for Back on Track, with renewed support of $200,000 given in 2019. Additional support has been provided by Rasmuson Foundation, BP, Municipality of Anchorage, Anchorage School District, The Annie E. Casey Foundation (through Covenant House Alaska), United Way of Anchorage and private donations.
