HIGHER LEARNING, INC. http://higherlearning-inc.org/program/
Higher Learning's experiential education program is holistic in design. The program's active, hands-on approach moves youth of color beyond the familiar both locally and globally in order to nurture a desire for life long learning.
In addition to sharpening academic skills beyond the standard school curriculum, Higher Learning's programming integrates important 21st century skills like team work, creativity, ingenuity, and global awareness (along with reading, writing and speaking) in the context of real life situations. These experiences equip students with knowledge that will serve them well in both the classroom and the real world.
Youth who complete the Higher Learning Program will develop:
A habit of thinking, inquiring, and challenging default assumptions
A respect for and better understanding of their responsibility to themselves, family, and community
An understanding of the relationship between personal experiences and collective social issues
A better understanding of their relationship to and interconnectedness with the United States and the world
Confidence, motivation, and a sense of empowerment; they will take steps to ensure positive, productive, and civic minded life choices, including those related to health and wellness, financial security and independence, community building, and self-presentation
Literacy, communication, foreign language, team building, and thinking and reasoning skills
Creativity, motivation, and greater success in school
Improved occupational and educational choices and opportunities
Target Population
Higher Learning currently serves youth of color ages 11-17 in the Maryland area, particularly those in Carroll County where the program is located. Our Baltimore program will launch Fall 2010.
