What is BoostUp?
from the site: www.boostup.org
“A boost is encouragement. It could be a text, an email, or even a pat on the back. Boostup is a chance for high school students to get to graduation. Boostup has been helping to decrease dropout rates by giving potential graduates the support they need to finish high school. Because one out of every three high school students in America isn’t graduating — in fact, every school day 7,000 students are dropping out. That’s 1/3 of all public high school students and almost 1/2 of all African American, Hispanic, and Native American teens. By senior year, 40% of all freshmen leave school, which is a staggering total of one million kids a year…That’s where boost comes in. A little (or big) boost goes a long way to keep students in school and on track to graduation. It can be a supportive conversation, text message, email, or a helping hand. There are a lot of teens who could use one right now. Find out how you can boost a student today.”
