Program areas at Project Success

In-class workshops: in-class activities guide cumulative development for students, gaining tools, purpose, and confidence. Each month, a ps facilitator guides experiential programming that complements the students' academic work. Annually, 15,000 students take part in in-class workshops.
Expeditions - adventure trips to colleges, workplaces, cities, and nature settings open new perspectives for one's potential in the world. Supervised trips (locally to globally) are purposefully planned based on students' interests, availability and need. More than 3,000 students experience outdoor field trips, bwca and apostle island trips, college and career tours, and global experiences.
Arts: theater experiences create a springboard for discussion, inviting risk-taking and possibility. Observing live theater performances and participating in staged productions gives students a window into the performing arts, from front of stage to behind the scenes. Annually, 10,000 students and their families attend live theater and other arts experiences.
Institute: certificates and other programs build critical life and career skills that enrich one's independence. Participating in out-of-school courses and events led by diverse and experienced content experts satisfies students' interests and provides relevant skills for the future. Annually, more than 200 certificates are earned by students through the ps institute.
