About this organization
Mission
To empower underserved youth through integrated leadership, literacy, and wilderness experiences
About
ARC's month-long Summer Immersion Courses integrate wilderness expeditions and academic basecamps. These courses facilitate the development of essential leadership and academic skills in alternative classroom settings and outdoor adventures. Rigorous activities require physical and mental commitment and interpersonal collaboration, while building an ethos for healthy lifestyles, personal empowerment, and environmental stewardship. Challenging leadership and life-skills training focuses on self-management, goal setting, personal responsibility, teamwork, communication, and resilience. Literacy sessions develop skills in critical thinking, reading comprehension, writing, and public speaking. After participating, ARC youth respond more positively to statements including, "I am developing good health habits," and "I deal with frustration in positive ways." They also show a statistically significant increase in all four of the internal asset categories on Search Institute's Developmental Assets Profile (DAP), with the largest increases in "Commitment to Learning" and "Positive Self Identity." Additionally, ARC participants improved an average of 10% on SAT Writing and Critical Reading questions administered before and after ARC summer programming. ARC's summer alumni graduate on time from high school and attend college at much higher rates than their peers. Ninety-nine percent of ARC alumni have graduated on time from high school and 81% have gone on to attend a two-year or four-year college.
