programs that support school engagement and attachment (e.g. non-traditional approaches to learning, experiential learning, school attendance incentives)
programs that support interest in learning (e.g. extra curricular programs)
programs that build self confidence and motivation (e.g. mentoring, programs that improve soft skills)
