Truancy Prevention & Opportunity Program (TPOP) is our newest program, offered through a partnership with Wood County Human Services Department to address truancy issues with youth age 10 - 16 in south Wood County schools.

This 16-week, strength-based program promotes positive relationships and connections to school. A case manager supports the youth and their caregivers ​in developing skills and addressing challenges to improve regular school attendance.  

The goals of the program includes:

• Improve school attendance
• Divert students from court and youth justice settings
• Create a sense of belonging at school for the youth
• Increase graduation rates and improve long-term success
