THE POWER OF INVESTING IN YOUNG PEOPLE
Many schools offer academic excellence, but CAST goes above and beyond academics to provide meaningful opportunities that expose public school students to high-wage, high-demand jobs, help them gain college credits, and set a course for their futures.
As a nonprofit that partners with four public school districts to advance economic freedom, CAST Schools tests new approaches to teaching and learning that can be scaled by our public school partners. Created in 2017 with the support of civic leaders, we have grown to a network of seven schools, including one Pre-K-12 Academy, one middle school and one school serving 8th – 12th grade students.
In a city that boasts rapid economic growth but is economically segregated, CAST demonstrates the POWER OF INVESTING IN YOUNG PEOPLE.
The cost differential to prepare CAST students for college, career and life is approximately $1,000 per student. Donations help us fund vital career-readiness programming that connects students with internships, apprenticeships, job shadowing, travel, and hiring events that make the CAST experience special. Donations also help us enhance our Youth Voice platforms like arts experiences, writing, theater, video production, student-led conferences and more.
