Introduction:	THINK Together’s mission is to provide high-quality, academically oriented out-of-school programs for students regardless of race, creed, or socioeconomic status. Since its inception in 1994, THINK (Teaching, Helping, Inspiring and Nurturing Kids) Together has been committed to improving academic outcomes for children and youth living in under-resourced communities. High School Extended Learning: High schools across the county are struggling to properly prepare students for college and the workforce. We believe it is imperative for communities to partner with schools to provide additional supports. Using evidence-based practices, the THINK Together for Teens (T3) high school program is designed to respond to the unique needs and strengths identified by students, teachers and administrators. Our overall goal is to support college and career-ready students by helping them meet state standards in core academic subjects, meet all graduation requirements, and expose them to relevant 21st Century Learning Skills. Although the activities schedule varies by school, all T3 programs incorporate academic and enrichment components, a nutritional snack and opportunities for traditional and non-traditional physical activities including intramural sports and dance, and utilize school fitness centers and weightlifting facilities. THINK Together forged a new partnership in 2010-11 with the j.k. livin foundation. The foundation, started by actor Matthew McConaughey and his life partner Camila Alves, is helping to expand THINK Together’s wellness and fitness curriculum in its high school programs. Students enrolled in the THINK Together high school program are six times more likely to graduate from high school than their peers. Our high school programs are voluntary and consistently draw more than 120 students daily.
