The mission of W.E.B. Dubois Charter School is to provide
an education to young parenting families by establishing
adequate resources for children to succeed. Our focus
on core academics, vocational training, technology,
leadership and parenting skills ensures the success
of young families in becoming educated, self-sufficient,
and economically independent.
The W.E.B. Dubois Charter School is designed to target
young parenting individuals who have dropped out of
school and will benefit from an interactive, family-like
learning atmosphere to reclaim their education toward
a high school diploma. Daycare and early start education
will be provided for children of students in an effort
to educate the entire family. As a collaborative effort,
the school will provide onsite health care services,
mental health and prenatal counseling. Our school will
provide parenting education, vocational training, and
the development of a higher education plan to enhance
each youth's stability and help them become assets
in their communities.
W.E.B. Dubois Charter School is sponsored by the West
Fresno School District.
Agape, Incorporated, a non-profit, public benefit
corporation, is responsible for the complete operation
and liability of the W.E.B. Dubois Charter School.
The organization's mission is to provide
adequate resources within the community for youth and
families to succeed by developing, expanding, and reaching
out to those most in need.
Agape's founders intend
to fulfill that commitment by designing and implementing
needed resources and services that reduce and/or eliminate
obstacles preventing progress.
Agape' serves as an innovator for providing services
to youth and families, which increase their likelihood
of becoming resilient, productive, prosperous, self-reliant
and successful members of their community. Success
will be reached through the following organizational
principles:
A. Fiscally Sound - Each school and program must produce
adequeate funds for growth and expansion, and at all
times be fiscally solvent.
B. Accountability - Performance driven and measurable
outcomes to provide high quality programs will be our
continued focus.
C. Community Outreach - Keeping parents and community
members informed and involved through various announcements
and trainings.
In addition, Agape' is determined to offer services
that will break the cycle of poverty, dependence and
pessimism toward the future. We strive to achieve this
by providing youth and families with proactive opportunities
to overcome two of the most significant impediments
to success:
1. Leaving school without completing a High School
Diploma.
2. Prematurely becoming a parent without adequate
services or an education
