Learning beyond the classroom

A diploma is the start, not the destination. Through our community partnerships, Dade Prep students gain access to mentors, mental-health support, financial-literacy coaching, fitness programs, and direct exposure to college, vocational, and military pathways. The organizations below help us turn classroom work into real-world momentum.

Community partners

Each of these partners brings a specific kind of support to our students — from one-on-one mentorship and youth advocacy to credit education and youth wellness.

  • Mental wellness and self-advocacy
  • Career readiness and professional networking
