FOR PARENTS & GUARDIANS
You don’t have to figure
out the next step alone.
DPA helps teens practice skills they can use in school, work, and everyday life—and explore what comes after graduation.
- Choose a goal together.
Is your teen looking for confidence, workplace skills, scholarship help, entrepreneurship, or exposure to new possibilities?
- Explore a program.
Review the program description and its registration or interest page for age requirements, format, dates, fees, and location.
- Connect before making plans.
