Caring about youth

Projects for Success (PFS) is a comprehensive combination of education and training, dropout prevention and employment programs. Teens and young adults benefit from technical, interpersonal skills development and cultural enrichment experiences.

We're proud to be able to say that in 2000 over 1,000 teens and young adults were served.

The theory behind all of EOP's Projects for Success initiatives is that once given the skills to succeed a person's potential is only limited by his/her imagination.

Participants are asked to furnish the drive and imagination;  we'll teach the skills.

The following are programs and courses offered by EOP's Projects for Success:
