A handful of teachers knocked on doors, and Bellevue Presbyterian Church opened their space and hearts to EA. Since that time, we’ve offered education and comprehensive services to families at a sliding scale of affordability. Here they receive academic support, addiction recovery, mental health counseling, and mentor relationships. We also operate two residential homes for youth who need shelter and stability. Since most of our students come from poverty and low-income households, youth attend our program at a sliding-scale cost that is made affordable to their family. This unique model of care has enabled hundreds of teens to graduate from high school and make transformative changes to their lives. Our graduation rate is over 90%, and our students have successfully gone on to college, vocational programs, and careers. Many of our alumni continue to be served by EA through scholarships, tutoring, counseling, career guidance, and more.
