How We Do It
The AR High School Program is 32 weeks long and offers a class once a week lasting an hour. The program is implemented in high schools either as an independent class or to supplement an active class. Each AR class will be led by two navigators, who are age-relatable employees (18-30 years old) trained by the Alternative Roadmap to teach the program. The navigators follow the Handbook for Life curriculum and interact with students.
