Overview

Mission

Eastside academy's mission is to inspire change in the lives of youth through high school education, counseling, recovery, housing, and life skills programs in a christ-centered environment.

What it reported doing in 2024

Counseling, recovery, outreach, and renew housing - all youth were provided with comprehensive services including daily addiction recovery classes, and regularly scheduled one-on-one mental health counseling. For our most vulnerable students, we offer safe and stable housing through our renew housing program. These homes enable youth to get off the streets, remain sober, and receive a high school education.
