The Agency: Greater West Town Community Development Project (GWTP)’s Youth Unit primarily consists of the West Town Academy (WTA), a highly effective, state-recognized diploma-granting high school for students who have dropped out of Chicago Public Schools and wish to complete their secondary education. 70% of our youth are African American, and 30% are Latino. Students range in age from 16-21 years of age. Most GWTP Youth Unit participants and WTA students are from low-income families, and approximately 15% are DCFS wards.
The GWTP Youth Unit plays a critical role in the lives of both our students and their communities. The Youth Unit and WTA strive to demonstrate highly successful strategies for re-engaging, teaching, and graduating our community’s dropout youth. Additionally, the Youth Unit and WTA serve as a model for civic and government leaders to encourage the creation and expansion of resources and programs that effectively address the needs of our community’s many at-risk and dropout youth.
