Empowering Futures for Youth on their Own.
Destination Diploma
High school students experiencing homelessness drop out of school at a rate three times higher than other students. Child Crisis Arizona partners with the Chandler Unified School District to support these students and encourage them to reach graduation.
Through Destination Diploma students agree to maintain their grades and attendance and in return they are offered help with food, clothes, personal hygiene products, tutoring and even a monthly stipend.
“I would be living on the streets if I did not have the support.”
– Sarah, Destination Diploma Student
