College/Trade School Readiness

Our six-week Access to Higher Education project offers individual support to youth that wish to go the college route. One of our Higher Education Specialists provides each young person with an individual assessment to give them the tools they need to find the school that is right for them. We do this by helping with analyzing transcripts, planning for remaining high school goals, touring several local colleges, providing support with applications and pre-test requirement (ie:SAT’s) and more.

thinkLaw Programming

The Center has partnered with thinkLaw to provide a critical thinking program essential for our student youth. thinkLaw’s comprehensive program of teacher tools, student guides, and virtual coaching is based on real-life cases because the law’s Socratic questioning methods make it easy for teachers to ask the questions that build student critical thinking skills.

QVolution - Youth Prom

Every Spring, Qvolution hosts an inclusive Prom for 13 to 24 year olds. At our Prom, youth can be their authentic selves, and bring who they want to as their date. LGBTQ youth have the opportunity to enjoy themselves in a safe environment, without fear of bullying or harassment. We never charge entrance for our prom, to ensure all youth have access.
