CHAMPAIGN – A program at Columbia Center, designed to help students who are behind on their credits, is about to get under way.
Hope Academy will offer an alternative schedule for students – they'll spend afternoons in class, working to catch up on the credits they need to graduate – and it will help them find jobs or internships to prepare them for the working world. The program will also address the social and emotional development of students, and help connect them with social services they might need.
