Contact Breona Ward atThe Block37 program offers students a safe space, positive adult role models, and access to activities that promote positive social, emotional, and educational outcomes for students.
Our program gives students the protective factors they need to mitigate risky behaviors (e.g., violence, drug/alcohol use, cyber/bullying, etc.) and strengthens their engagement in school. Through internships provided on-site at DeLaSalle High School and partner organizations, teens gain real work experience and learn new skills while earning an hourly stipend.
Focus areas are arts; science, engineering, technology, and math (STEM); sports; communication; and entrepreneurship. Students gain a stronger sense of belonging, positive interactions, a strong sense of purpose, and increased school attachment that leads to improved academic performance and preparedness for higher education or employment.
