What is the Pass Program?
The PASS program offers an opportunity for families under 21
years of age to complete high school credits while taking care of
their children. The program provides a warm family environment
that teaches life skills, parenting and offers support for completing
high school credits.

“I like it here (in the PASS program) because you get to meet
new people that are in the same situation and your child gets
to play with other kids while you do school work”

‘The PASS program is better than going to high
school because you can bring your child with you
and they will have someone to play with.”
