Remake Learning is a network that ignites engaging, relevant, and equitable learning practices in support of young people navigating rapid social and technological change.
Post-Secondary Readiness

The Homewood Children's Village, YMCA Lighthouse Project, and Higher Achievement teamed up to create a pathway for young people in Homewood to find post-secondary readiness and success.
