Life After High School
High school freshman through senior year are eligible to attend Life after High School.
This is a CALPAL priority event held every year because CALPAL youth leadership identified college attendance and preparation for life as skills most commonly needed to succeed in life.
Many local PAL members lack counselors in their local schools to assist them in making decisions about their next steps in life. Many have no family members who attended college, vocational schools, or even graduated from high school. Consequently, it is very difficult to make a successful transition from high school to life after high school.
CALPAL expects the 450 participants to gain greater motivation to succeed, improve their grades and life-skills, and find insight into realizing their aspirations. Because of their participation in this program, attendees will make the transition from high school and become a significant contributor in the success of California’s future.
California PAL pays for lodging, meals, and speakers. There is a minimal $5.00 fee for each participant (This is commonly paid by the local PAL.)
The overall program cost is appoximatly $54,000 and it typically costs around $120 for one youth to attend.
