Touch Point Connection, Tucson, Arizona

Did you know we have a drop out crisis in our country?

On average, 30% of the USA’s freshman class does not go on to complete high school. In some minority groups, 42% - 47% drop out. In our largest cities, 65% -75% may not graduate.
Each dropout costs the nation approximately $260,000 over his or her lifetime. For those involved in drugs or crime, the cost to taxpayers is closer to $1.7 - $2.3 million.
In order to earn a living wage today, a person needs more than a high school education.

Touch Point Connection is a Tucson, AZ-based nonprofit organization working with schools and other agencies serving teens and young adults who need additional support to succeed. Touch Point Connection provides free, ongoing coaching support using volunteers trained in professional coaching methods with a goal of the teens completing enough education and/or training, and acquiring sufficient life and workplace skills to earn a livable wage.

Our one-of-a-kind program addresses the critical needs of youth by:

Recruiting, training, and supporting community volunteers who serve as coaches.
Managing coaching programs within and for youth-serving organizations such as high schools and community colleges.
