"This was by far the best experience my son has had learning and getting the moral & academic support & love that he needs. I can't thank the program enough for what they have done for my son & family. They have changed our lives for the better in 3 days!"
-Jordan (Parent/Guardian)
"I always felt welcomed here at Project R.O.C.K. Even when I first came in, I never felt stunned or viewed differently for why I was suspended. Everyone here is very caring and super easy to talk to. They understood me and didn't make me feel less. The workshops really helped me learn a lot. I'm very thankful to everyone here who helped me & the whole program."
-Julian (Student)
"1st time my child was suspended but it was reassuring that he was able to continue learning and didn't have the days counted against him. This is a great program. Every day he would tell us about the life coaches that came to speak to them, and things learned."
-Wal (Parent/Guardian)
