THE POINT serves the most vulnerable youth in our community. We currently serve over 650 students annually from grades 2^nd-12^th. Most POINT students come from single-parent households, 90% live below the poverty level for Chester County and many have experienced homelessness, transient housing conditions, parents addicted to drugs/alcohol, mental or physical abuse, hunger, and are struggling or failing academically. Consequently, POINT students have an increased risk for involvement with the juvenile system, physical or mental health issues, drug or alcohol abuse and skipping or dropping out of school.
