Trades Exploration
BEF invests in career-connected learning activities that help 75 middle schoolers learn about construction, auto tech, and manufacturing CTE programs available in Beaverton high schools. As a result, these 7th and 8th graders are better prepared to move onto high school and many discover new career aspirations. High school students benefit as well as they provide peer-to-peer learning opportunities as they show off the skills they have learned and talk about career and college plans after graduation.
Cram and Jam Homework Club
BEF invested in core academics at Sunset High School through support for a before and after school program designed to help students work on homework with a focus on math and science.
