We’re rewriting stories for kids and families in Iowa. Here’s where those stories get told. Follow along with the Ellipsis blog as we connect the dots between our work, our communities and the lives we change.
For many high school seniors, graduation is a milestone filled with celebration, excitement and a clear sense of what comes next. For youth in Qualified Residential Treatment Programs (QRTPs) like those at Ellipsis, the path to graduation is often far less predictable — and sometimes it can feel unattainable.
There are gaps in learning from changing schools, days missed because of overwhelming experiences at home or moments when focusing on homework took a back seat to earning an income. Yet young people in our programs are preparing to walk across the stage. Graduation is an expectation we have for our youth, and it’s a goal we help make possible for those who want it.
