Project Dare
This one day event promises to be a lot of fun and give students an idea of the support services available at the post-secondary level.
Project DARE is a transition program coordinated by the Centre for Students with Disabilities at Algonquin College for high school students with disabilities considering post-secondary studies. The college environment is substantially different from high school and every student who attends college must prepare to face new challenges and experiences - adjusting to living away from home for the first time, learning time management skills, adapting to new social roles and expectations, and meeting greater academic challenges. Project DARE is funded by the School-to-College-to-Work Initiative. Similar to the Make the CUT transition program for high school students with learning disabilities and/or ADHD, Project DARE will provide students with an overview of student support services available at any Ontario college as well as an introduction to strategic learning approaches.
