The Book Works

Education Engagement Hubs offer programming on most school days during school hours to help middle and high school-age students focus on academics while managing challenges that lead to absences, suspensions, or leaving school before graduating. Programming includes life skills workshops, homework help, individual goal setting, and hands-on projects that develop academic, reading, and teamwork skills.

Community Wellness Academy Join The Book Works for an after-school experience focused on wellness, learning, leadership, and service! Youth (12-15 years) will enjoy healthy snacks, homework and academic support, wellness activities, leadership opportunities, and community service projects. Participants will learn practical skills for managing stress, building healthy relationships, strengthening coping skills, supporting their peers, and caring for their own mental wellness. Youth will also have opportunities to use their voice, connect with community leaders, and work together on a youth-selected community service project.

At The Book Works, we offer services and programs that strengthen the whole family. We know that for learners to thrive in their education, they need support from their caregivers – and we know caregivers need support to provide that care! We assist families with finding resources and understanding educational rights for the learners in their family. Family School Success Plan Meetings Flexible Schedule and Locations The Book Works’ Youth Services team facilitates meetings with youth and the adults who care for them to develop a School Success Plan. In meetings, learners and family members explore the root causes of school avoidance or behavior challenges and identify strategies that work for them.

Education Advocacy: Education Advocates assist middle & high school students to set goals, access academic services needed to graduate, navigate juvenile justice, and develop social-emotional skills.
