Empowering Youth with Innovative Education - 212 Degrees Fahrenheit

212 Degrees Fahrenheit aims to identify more innovative ways to educate youth and motivate them to invest in themselves and take better control of their lives. After reviewing data and current trends in education, 212 Degrees Fahrenheit has come to learn that many students in underserved communities have stopped engaging in school and doing homework because of the loss of motivation. Another reason why some students are not involved in school because they feel obligated to work and bring money home to their families, so they ditch their school and academic growth for survival.  In addition to that, youth do not have the proper education on how to manage money, healthy spending habits, or know how to save for retirement, how to have good credit scores, or even choosing a college and career that can help and prepare them to handle life and become successful in their community.

To combat these inequities, 212 Degrees Fahrenheit supports students with motivational interviewing techniques and skills that equip them with the necessary skills to reach their highest level of success. Through a multitude of services such as tutoring, mentorship, family workshops, business education, and performing arts activities, 212 Degrees Fahrenheit’s support for youth is nearly endless!
