ALF high school students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of trips, public speaking events, train the trainer events, and programs for younger students. Each student is guided through projects and programs that introduce them to many components of a successful community: government, business, nonprofit agencies, faith based organizations and more. Levels of decision making and responsibility are increased, and staff and coach support are used as guidance tools for success in each endeavor.
During the summer after middle school, ALF students participate in a week-long, high adventure summer trip designed to introduce them to people in a variety of careers and expose them to various options to gaining higher education after high school. Past trips have been to Virginia and Montana, and activities have included flying an airplane, visiting corporations and universities, and enjoying local activities such as mountain climbing or white water rafting.
During the 4 years of high school, students select a variety of community service projects based on their perception of the needs of the community. These projects have ranged from fashion shows designed to exemplify “respectable yet fashionable” dress and music, scholarship fairs, mayoral debates, working with the Detroit Pistons on their “Read to Achieve” program and more.
