PEACH: Promoting Economic Action & Community Health

PEACH serves as an alternative educational space for youth who are disengaged from the education system. The organization received funding to subdivide their existing location so that it is conducive to learning as well as welcoming to students in the School Away from School program.

The renovations generated an open space for learning activities and presentations, an audiovisual and computer learning area, a kitchen and two offices for hired staff. 

The organization and participants have benefitted from the renovations. Students now have private space to study, upgraded computers and Internet, private spaces for meetings and a kitchen facility so they can complete their Food and Nutrition school credit. They demonstrate greater ownership of the facility, working together to ensure it remains in top condition.
