college_group

Kids of Honor® YEAH Club recently visited the Baltimore Convention Center to attend the National Association for College and Admissions Counseling (NACAC) College Fair. The fair had over 100 respective colleges and universities in attendance with UMES and SU being included. The students found the fair to be “very enlightening and eye opening”. At the fair, Kids of Honor® YEAH Club members gathered tons of information on schools all over the country. Some students were excited and overjoyed after meeting the Admission Counselors at their dream schools. The students found that some universities they have an option to submit SAT scores or not; which was information that made dreams of attending college more realistic. After hearing the news about the options of admissions they quickly completed information forms. A Kids of Honor® YEAH student collegesaid “speaking with some of the admissions counselors they made me feel welcomed and wanted at their school”. Throughout the course of the fair and conversations with counselors students were exposed to other careers, majors, and clubs that the different schools offer. YEAH students attended the fair wanting to major in one thing and after speaking with the counselors they were inspired to select a major as well as a minor. The YEAH students received answers to questions pertaining to the student teacher ratio, school population, graduation rate, and job after college percentages. YEAH Club members left the fair feeling not only inspired but more motivated and driven to do their best. “This was an experience we will never forget.”

Family Fun in Baltimore

Inner_Harbor_--_WebWalters_-2_--_WebKids of Honor® and their families enjoyed an enriching day at the Walter's Art Gallery and then relaxed, ate and shopped at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor.

A long, HOT, June day was the highlight of the year for a busload of kids and their families.

Arriving when the doors opened at the Walter's Art Gallery, teams of youth and adults explored Egyptian tombs, medieval armor collections and paintings galore while competing in a scavenger hunt that led them through their explorations.

Then they boarded the bus and went to the Inner harbor for an afternoon of food, shopping, fun and more food.

Walters_-WebNaps and chatter about knights in shining armor filled the bus ride home. What a great day of learning and fun!

Welcome to Kids of Honor®
Kids of Honor® is an award winning organization recognized for excellence in nonprofits - selected because our participants graduate from high school.  Each high school dropout costs communities over $260,000 during his or her lifetime.  Yet for only $250 per year, we keep each of our students engaged in school. Our model is collaborative, successful, and effective.

High School Graduation – It’s important to all!

Graduation is an exciting time for most of our young people.  Sadly, about a third of American youth won’t participate in that celebration. For a variety of reasons, these students ‘Drop-Out’. It’s a choice that costs our community and students in a variety of ways.
